I love browsing recipe books for inspiration but find most of the ones I have I only like a few of the recipes. I'm not the most experienced of cooks so tend to like simple meals, don't really do fish. I have a few Jamie Oliver and River Cottage ones, wondering if Joe Wicks would be a good shout for simplicity.

What do you like?

The tattiest book is definitely the Rombaeur Joy of Cooking. Lots of spills and writing on it!
My current favourite is the beautiful Dishoom book which I got for Christmas. I made the house Black Dal yesterday. It took 6 hours to make but was absolutely amazing!

We make that a lot. It feels like such a treat.

Another vote for Dishoom, some of them are quite faffy but all been delish. I love the Farm Table by julius roberts, esp at this time of year

If you are still buying OP, it's worth looking on Vinted and 'world of books'.
