1. Spotting a cookbook by it's nice cover;
2. Picking up the cookbook and thumbing through it, just to look at the pics;
3. Thumbing through it some more, stopping at the recipes, drooling a little bit while planning some menus;
4. Jotting down a couple of recipes;
5. Typing up the jotted recipes and filing into the computer;
6. Printing the recipes;
7. Going on amazon.com to read book reviews, etc.; maybe there will be recipes there too;
8. Afterall, it's a very very nice book, lovely concept...and the pics are so inspiring...;
9. Do I REALLY need this book or can I do without it?
10. By now, I WANT the book 'cause I really NEED IT!!!
