As a beginner, as much as I enjoy learning as I go, I do like quite detailed technical books - step by step stuff that doesn't leave me wondering how the author travelled from step1 to step2.
Additionally, apart from a couple of my books which encompass a wide subject range (such as James Peterson's 'Cooking'), I have found myself collecting more single subject books (eg. meat, sauces, bread). If I do go for a more general recipe book, it's probably because I've seen the author on telly and enjoyed the energy they've put into their cooking.
This is all in the context of my not really having any exposure to what I know to be great quality meals, or indeed first hand knowledge of anybody with those skills - so to a great extent, I have to trust that my technique is as well underpinned as possible.
Best of luck with the project.
