I first found David about two years ago through a mailing list we both frequented - he came highly recommended even then.  Since that time I have purchased books from him on occasions too numerous to count.  I have spent hundreds of dollars with him - and by doing so I have SAVED hundreds more.

You will never find a friendlier, more accommodating, more honest (are there degrees of honesty?  If so, David has a PhD!) vendor on the Internet or anywhere else.  I heartily endorse him to you as a resource for any of your book needs - and many thanks to you David, for the service and integrity you offer and your friendship.

I've bought something like 100 books from David over a period of several years. First he helped me build a great cookbook collection (he made it affordable). Then I got interested in European travel and he helped me choose and acquire the best travel books including Michelin at deep discounts.  And now I'm interested in certain types of collectibles and he's been finding the best collector books for me. What's remarkable about NBC is that you get the highest level of service, and quality products, at the lowest level of price. Think about it. That's not the way it usually works........ Dave Small

As of this writing I have ordered books from David Spriggs 21 times, and I have never been anything less than absolutely delighted.

David Spriggs is a cookbook scholar and a gentleman. We've never met in person (ah the magic of the internet), but has been my ongoing pleasure to have read his cookbook reviews and an even greater pleasure to buy cookbooks from him at wonderfully reasonable (almost too good to be true) prices.

David....keep up the great work. I would miss you if you stopped NBC!

"David Spriggs and New Books Cheap -- The Cookbook Collectors' Best Friend"
Buying cookbooks is more fun through NBC. Now, I turn first to David. He is fast, accurate, always fair and goes out of his way to be helpful. When I shop I shop first at NBC.

David Spriggs of NBC has been someone I've met by the way of the internet for the approximately last two years. David provides us Culinary collector's a much valuable service allowing us to find some of those many new cookbooks at a reasonable price. There have been many times I've seen books at Borders and Barnes and Nobles and then David will send his list of books for sale and there are some of the same books I desired at a price I couldn't pass up.

He also has a discerning eye for what is new and what is interesting. His book reviews are always eye openers and gives me some more insight into many of those cookbook authors. His various travels provide David of NBC along with his professional experience in the Culinary Field make him very knowledgeable to varied international cuisine.

Besides all these good attributes he is honest and generous. What more could you ask for?

I would also like to add my endorsement about how wonderful your prices are and how dependable your service is. I have bought many wonderful cookbooks from you over 2 (?-or 3) years and I have NEVER been disappointed or had a problem. Hope you are happy or at least happier. Carol

I want to add my voice to those clients who are so well pleased with your help and service. Please do not feel EVER that you are intruding when telling me of a new title! Cheers to you David. Your service, thoughtfulness are truly appreciated. All praise is fully deserved.

"I was a little dubious several years ago when I first heard about New Books Cheap: a decorated veteran who sells mostly cookbooks for 60% off, sends you the books before he receives payment, and donates the net proceeds to the Military Order of the Purple Heart organization. As I have learned after dozens of transactions, David Spriggs is this and a whole lot more and I now count him among my friends. Although cooking is my passion, I ONLY cook for my family and loved ones. The fact that David has been an honored guest at my table is an indication of my esteem for him."

From: Sherman Watkins
While New Books Cheap is the name on the page David is the engine that make it go. I think of them first for any book purchase and feel cheated if I'm forced to go anywhere else. Service is quick, selection is easy, and no one is finer to work with.  NBC so gracious that if they make a mistake, a rare event, I feel like I must apologize for causing them trouble. Their taste is exquisite. More than once I've said, "Here's the topic. Send me the book that best matches." I've yet to be disappointed and am usually delighted with a book I'd never have found otherwise. My single complaint is that I don't have a stash of their business cards to pass along to others.

I have watched David  work for years behind the scenes, collecting & selling great books on a myriad of subjects.  David's knowledge on a multitude of subjects is a little scary.  He's a smart guy.
He has donated his time & efforts tirelessly to the BBQ community, and have always supported the cooking teams in their endeavors.  The books & searching service they provide is of great value, & I have always gotten first class service & quality, even when I bought used books. I highly recommend them over any other service around.
