A Classic but never bettered

Years ago I purchased a paperback edition of this book and it taught me how to lift my steaks and chicken breasts to a higher level plus it has salads and other accompaniments that also stand out a bit. This was where I learned to force an herbed butter under the skin of a chicken breast to maximize flavor and where I found that blue cheese and fresh rosemary lifted a good steak even higher on the ladder of tasty grilled cuisine. I just had to purchase an original hard cover to preserve my access to these recipes. The original binding on my copy stood up well but I do not see signs that it was used all that much. Contemporary grilling books are only different; not better and this book bears republishing.
