Pig Perfect : Encounters with Remarkable Swine and Some Great Ways to Cook Them by Peter Kaminsky
Anyone who knows me understands how much I relate to the author's passion for cured pork. There were a couple chapters that I coudln't get into, but tthis was for the most part a fun pork adventure that takes you from New York to the Deep South, to the hills of Spain, and back to an island off the Eastern Seaboard in search of a properly fat american pig. Funny--you wouldn't think fat american pigs would be hard to find.
Note, a story of the author's search for great pork, and not a cookbook. When he eats a great dish, he usually follows it up with the recipe (or something similar), but they're a bonus...not the reason for reading.
