Read a Cookbook for Free: Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Cookbook!

February’s Free Cookbook Preview…

Been to Google Books lately? Google Books has been gradually placing the full text of thousands of books online, many of them free full previews of culinary books that are either out-of-print or have been added online with the permission of their publishers.

One of the latter gems we’ve recently stumbled upon is the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Cookbook, a 144 page compendium of interesting recipes, photographs, and related stories edited by Susan Pollack.

You can read the whole book on Google Books here then buy it from Amazon.Com when you’re ready to purchase the book.

A freelance writer for Sierra and the Boston Globe, Susan is on the staff of National Fisherman.
