Finding illustrated books

I'm having trouble finding illustrated books. In my case it's cook books, but the problem could relate to most reference, coffee table, or children's books.
Cook books are pretty useless without photos. I understand that the decision to include them or not is the publisher's, not Apple's, but the point is that I can't see how to tell whether or not a particular book has them. Downloading a sample doesn't help, because nine times out of ten I only get to see the acknowledgements and contents pages, not a sample of actual content.
While samples that show you what the book is actually like would be the ideal, I'd at least expected that books with illustrations would be labelled as such in the store (actually both would be good, then I wouldn't bother downloading samples when there are no pictures).
At the moment I'm thinking the book store is great for fiction, but hopeless for books that need richer content, and am tempted to give up and go back to paper books
Sadly the problem isn't exclusive to Apple; the Kindle store is just as bad. In fact it's worse, because the description you see is often from the paper book, mentioning illustrations, while in fact the Kindle version has none.
Does anyone know of a good way to find illustrated books, short of buying and taking pot luck?

I'm not sure what you are specifically looking for but each product page on OTN(e.g http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev ) has links to sample code, tech papers, 'how to' notes etc.

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

    Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
    What version did you have?
    Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

  • HT1657 Is the new movie Lincoln available at iTunes, I find the book but not the movie?

    Is the new movie Lincoln available at iTunes, I find the book after a lot of missleading advertisement but can't seem to find the NEW move.

    Thanks for thoughts...That is what I was starting to believe....When you go to iTunes there are some deceptive advertisements that lead you to the book, Lincoln, after first referring to the movie.

    Google Czech ebooks.

    Start with the free books and go on from there.

  • Need to find a book about Java history

    Hello,
    I'm not sure I am posting in the right forum, but anyway...
    I am currently performing a research entitled "The use of the Java platform in the entertainment industry". To begin, I need a book where I could find hitorical information about Java cretion and evolution, but I can't manage to find one. The history given on the java.sun.com website is way too short and all the books I could find deal with technical aspect of Java...
    Does anyone knows a book that could interest me?

    Thanks for the links, but as it is an academic
    dissertation, I'd rather find a book... The Internet
    is still not really trusted as an academic source of
    information.
    So there's no chance for me to find a book with a
    proper history (better than the half page introduction
    in present in every Java programming book)Well then why not try journals? You won't find one book from which you can write your whole thesis, and if you did, you probably wouldn't get very good marks. As a guide, my MSc dissertation had around 300 references and 60k words, which is not uncommon. Journal articles are far more targetted, and certainly more likely to cover such a specific area as what you are asking of.

  • I. Cannot find a book on my iPad or iPhone but it's on my computer. I bought on iTunes.... Help?

    I. Cannot find a book on my iPad or iPhone but it's on my computer. I bought on iTunes.... Help?

    Audiobooks cannot be redownloaded, so you cannot do this from an iPad or iPhone, at least not without intervention from the iTunes Store. If you have a computer at home, log into your iTunes Store account and look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the audiobook there to be downloaded.
    If not, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their Support page (click "Contact Support" and follow the instructions to get to the contact form) and explain the problem to them.
    Regards.

  • Can't find my book project after migration to iPhoto 09. Help please?

    I'd worked for many hours on a book project in iPhoto '07. Then I updated to '08 and now to '09. I can't find my book project listed anywhere. Is there a way to get it back? Many thanks. Robinbigbird.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You backed up before each of those updates, of course? So the simple thing is to restore from one of those.
    When you updated, what exactly did you do? Did you import a Library to a new iPhoto?
    Regards

  • Where can I find additional book themes for Aperture?

    I've made a few books with Aperture, which I've enjoyed and which turned out very well.  However, I'd like to find more book themes.  (A current need is a theme that is better suited for an actual travel journal with more text.)  I've spent a couple of hours on Google and poring over the Apple sites related to Aperture, to no avail.  I'm sure =someone= offers new themes, free or not.  Thanks in advance for any assistance!!

    I don't know of any themes, but there are photobook plug-ins for Aperture. These will create books for third-party print services:

    If you want to print using Apple's print services, try to modify the available themes by saving custom master pages.

  • Can't find my book in my library

    I've recently had to re-imaged my Dell and I can't find a book that I purchased in my Library. I have searched in the purchased section and there is no record of the book. How can I get it back onto my Library?

    Are you signed into he account that purchased the book when you view your purchased items? If you were and it is not listed then there is no way to redownload it. You can only redownload media that are only presently available. Is the book in the iBooks store now?

  • Best CS2 Illustrator Book

    Been using Appleworks for years on Macs. Time has come to learn Illustrator. I just installed
    CS2 on my iMac G5 running OSX 10.4.11. I'm hoping someone can recommend the best book to help me learn Illustrator.
    Thanks in advance,
    Lenny.

    Real World Illustrator book by Mordy Golding is excellent and the way Mordy writes and describes the steps they are easy and intuitive feeling when you try to follow them. Not art all mysterious as many books on learning applications are written.
    He also has a site with many interesting techniques and tutorials.

  • Any Illustrator book recommendation?

    I know how to use Illustrator, I'm definitely not a beginner. But what I am looking for is a Illustrator book that has master techniques; mostly creating text and text effects for logos . Most of the books I read are about brainstorming or how to get inspired.
    I'm looking for techniques to take me to the next level. Any recommendations?

    Different learning styles. The OP asked for a book.
