Consider swapping books instead of buying new ones. It's wayyyyy cheaper!

Keep Your Cookbook Stain Free

Open the book to the page you need, and then cover it with a plastic bag or plastic wrap. This will preserve the quality of your cookbook and keep it sanitary.

Book Swaps

If you have too many books you're no longer interested in, you can throw a book swap among your friends. You can offer a finger food menu or ask everyone to bring a dish and any books they're willing to swap. There are also book swaps available in many cities, as well. Check with your city or local library.
