Great introduction to Spanish Cookery
Whilst it may only be short, this book is packed with great recipies from all regions of Spain. Spainish cooking is often stereotyped as Paella and Tortilla (Spanish Omlette) this book shows the variety of styles available in simple to follow instructions and good photography. I would particularly recommend the recipie for empanda (it's worth the effort!) and lamb in green sauce.

but alright and has main meals thrown in as well.
