Show me your cookbooks..........

I'm curious what your cookbook collection looks like, even if it's only one or two, how you arrange them, how you store them. Take a picture and post it here.
I have a relatively long kitchen and I've been putting them within reach, but away from where I cook, on the counter. I usually keep authors together but there's no rhyme or reason to how they are arranged, other than the taller/fatter books are to the left.

Yep, AC, I've got just a few more. LOL

My collection has grown a little since the above pic was taken. I'm finally out of space on the counter and need a shelf. I know it looks obsessive, but remember some of you were in diapers when I started collecting cookbooks. That said, I've updated my collection the past couple of years with Amazon.com gift certifricates I got for my birthday and xmas. Usually I get CDs, books and a cookbook or two, but this year got all cookbooks. So I'm set until the next birthday certificate comes. :)
Today's pic.

wowowowow!! That's a hell of a lot of cook books!!
Here's my collection. Definitely not all vegan ones, but I still like my non-vegan ones.

I now have a pretty nice place for my cookbooks-cabinet right by the kitchen with vegan books on top, more books inside, and I finally have a good place for spices!

eta: and that's the apron erin made me!
nice! Currently my books are in the dining room, which is not near the kitchen really. In our new house I have already earmarked a shelf in the kitchen which will be perfect for my cookbooks.
Very nice AC. I'm so jealous. I'm having a spice issue and I still haven't addressed the cookbook situation on the kitchen counter.

I thought your cookbooks worked well on that counter!?

They do great, but now there are too many of them and there's no room. I should take an updated pic.
Seeing my book(s) in so many of your pictures totally made my day!!! I hope you're enjoying the recipes, you lovely people!! xoxo :)

i do have RHIW but my step mom is borrowing it (well she has been for like a year now) =/
Haha, yes I have heard *that* one before, Amy! I had to give a friend of mine an extra copy this month cuz her mom kept borrowing her RHIW!! <3
Fun idea! Here are mine. Just on a bookcase but soon to be moved to a new bookcase.
Not all are exclusively vegan, but I treasure some of those non-vegan books for their vegan-y potential!

My cookbooks are everywhere. My favorites are on the counter by the stove because I use them often. The big, thick cookbooks are on a book shelf in the living room. And the best part is I have two more on the way! My absolute favorite at the moment is Vegan Comfort Food because I have been able to make vegan dishes that my kids eat, and love, and don't realize are vegan! :-)
I could have sworn I already posted my books! Where are all my posts???
