Not about pizza but one of the best food books I've ever read.

Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef
Gabrielle Hamilton

"Magnificent. Simply the best memoir by a chef ever. Ever. Gabrielle Hamilton packs more heart, soul, and pure power into one beautifully crafted page than I've accomplished in my entire writing career. Blood, Bones & Butter is the work of an uncompromising chef and a prodigiously talented writer. I am choked with envy." - Anthony Bourdain

Steve,

I'd like to nominate a book for inclusion on the "recommended books" page.

The book is Pizza (From Its Italian Origins to the Modern Table) written by Rosario Buonassi and published by Firefly Books Inc., Buffalo, NY (2000).

Beautiful design and photography compliment this thoughtful, well-written book.  
Topics covered are historical development of pizza, many recipes, wine and beer recommendations for specific pizzas, and future trends.

This book is probably more "coffee table art book"  than  "how to" manual, but it is sophistocated, engaging, and insightful.  This book is currently out of print but is available as a remainder for around $7 to $8  (orig. $24.95)  through Amazon resellers.
Agreed!  This book got the (dough) ball rolling for me...

Hi Steve,

I would definitely recommend "My Pizza" by Jim Lahey, as well as, "Flour Water Salt Yeast" by Ken Forkish.

Best,
David
