If you are interested in curing food using a variety of means including salted, spiced, dried, smoked, potted or pickled then I would recommend the book below. Not sure if it is available outside the UK?
It has a global flavour from the Mediteranean to Scandinavia, America to Japan and covers a wide variety of food from New York Pastrami to Sashimi, Liverwurst to Venison Jerky! :)
The pictures that accompany the recipes are superb. The author uses and recommends the Bradley Smoker.
Best price I have seen in the UK is currently at amazon.co.uk

Is it written in English or in English??
Looks like a pretty good book.
Hey 10.5, I'm thinking maybe English!
Heck, I might be wrong - it may be in written in English, dang now I'm confused.
Ships from and sold by Amazon for 21.90.

Not sure I am that into cured stuff at this time ;D
Thanks Manx, looks like it's gonna be another addition to my book shelves. Hope it's in your English. After living here for so long an American speaking English sounds rather strange to me ;D ;D
It is in English English as oppossed to American English if that makes sense! ;) :D
If any translations are required I will try my best!! :D
The one from Amazon.com seems to be a paperback version, and smaller than the hardcover version that Manx referred to.
I found an English English :D copy on abebooks.com that ships free to the USofA.

Thanks for the recommendation!
She appears to be a Bradley fan as well... An image from the 'look inside' feature on Amazon.com.

Manxman;
You have never stirred me wrong with your book recommendations. I've added this to my Buy List.
Well Manx I ordered mine today as well. Hope I can figure the bit of English out :D
Thanks for the info. :)
Look forward to hearing what those who have ordered it think of this book.
I have just done the Swedish cold smoked loin of venison with dark rum... WOW! :-)

Just ordered mine from amazon.de. Can't wait
Great lead -- thanks!
Amazon in the US offers both the softcover (~$22) and the hardcover (~$48) . Based on page length, I would guess they are different somehow (maybe fewer pics in the softcover ?), and the price difference seems a bit extreme, plus 3-5 weeks delivery on the hardcover.
But, if on the hardcover page you click the 8 new from (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1906417415/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&qid=1294226818&sr=1-7&condition=new) ... link you will get a page that shows Amazon's offering along with those from other sellers that storefront on Amazon. All the HC sellers are UK based. Ordered mine for ~ $34.07 + 3.99 shipping with 10-14 day delivery from the UK.
Got mine today!
Looks like a good read and plenty of knowledge!
Here's a quick peek!

My copy came all the way from Gloucestershire, England yesterday. Very impressed with it so far. The photographs are amazing.

She uses a Bradley smoker! Although I don't see it mentioned by name..

Yes it is a great book. Already made the cold smoked trout. Didn't want to take the 3 hour train ride to lake Garda so used local rainbow. Delicious.

Danged all of you - curses on you!. My downfall is falling for cookbooks with purdy pickchurs in them. Now I HAVE to get it. I about fainted when I saw that salmon pic STC posted.
Mine arrived from England yesterday as well. She does use a Bradley Smoker and it is mentioned by name a couple of times.
Beautifully photographed.
I stand corrected!
We should invite her to join the forum.....
