Given your circumstances, why do you even have an opinion about $500 professional cooking books?
Sorry you got dumped on --- I'm really just commenting to point out that this is priced along the lines of TAOCP --- but really why are you even thinking about this stuff?
I meant what I said. Cooks Illustrated is excellent, and they publish so many books every year that you can get (absolutely great) older editions for ultra cheap.

And also, I meant it: don't torrent books.
