Milk Free Bookstore Big Update

Books as presents? What a wonderful idea! Easy to shop for, easy to send, easy to keep for yourself if you decide they're too good to give away to your lowlife relatives.

Here's the deal. I finally, after much too long, got around to updating my Milk Free Bookstore in my website, Steve Carper's Lactose Intolerance Clearinghouse.

I first put the bookstore together almost ten years ago, when I discovered Amazon.com and its crazy, quirky, utterly frustrating search engine. Trying to find books on lactose intolerance, on lactose-free, dairy-free, or milk-free cooking, on dairy or milk allergies required a million searches on a variety of keywords.

I knew that you out there didn't have the time to slog through all that, so I did it for you.

At the time I found around 50 titles that would qualify as of interest. I've expanded that list over the years to over 220. They now sorted into ten categories:

• ALLERGY BOOKS AND COOKBOOKS

• DIGESTION AND DISEASE BOOKS

• FOOD ADDITIVES AND INGREDIENTS

• FROZEN DESSERTS COOKBOOKS

• IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS)

• KIDS, PARENTING, AND SPECIAL DIETS

• MILK-FREE BOOKS

• VEGAN COOKBOOKS

• WHEAT- AND GLUTEN-FREE BOOKS

• MISCELLANEOUS AND TRAVEL BOOKS

I went through my blog for all the cookbooks I mentioned so far in 2008. With a couple of exceptions that either did not show up or were too peripheral to count, I've made sure there's a link to each of them in the Milk Free Bookstore.

You can link directly to Amazon by clicking on the picture of the book cover.

Of course, I'm just pointing out the availability of these titles. This is not an endorsement of the books, the authors, the publishers, or Amazon. I'll endorse good old fashioned hardcopy print books, though. Those are great.
