Art of the Slow Cooker from Chronicle Books is worth adding to your collection.

I personally tried and don't like "slow cookers". I would much rather use a Dutch oven and braise something.
I did acquire at least three "slow cooker" cookbooks and found them to be more gimmick than substance.

Are you referring to the slow cooker Fix It n' Forget series? I love the slow cooker; they have come along way (ceramic insery for browning meats, temperature, precise timing, etc.) and recipes and cookbooks that use real ingredients -no canned soups or processed mixes. I use my dutch oven (usually on the weekends), but they great to make beef stews, stock/broth, short ribs, brisket, pork butt, ragus, tomato sauce, etc. Low on electricity and wonderful when you want home-made food but dont have the time.

There have been many new books for slow cookers lately, and much has been published on blogs. I would go to a good book store and page through a number, or go to a library and take some of them home. You should be guided by your taste and preferences. Here's one that I've seen a few recipes for, if you like Indian food (and this isn't for basic cooking, but the techniques will be the same). --

"America's Test Kitchen Slow Cooker Revolution" is an amazing book, that is easy to use and extremely delicious.

I own these slow cooker cookbooks and recommend:
Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook (NYM Series) by Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann
The Gourmet Slow Cooker: Simple and Sophisticated Meals from Around the World by Lynn Alley
Williams-Sonoma Essentials of Slow Cooking: Recipes and Techniques for Delicious Slow-Cooked Meals

Also agree with the Art of the Slow Cooker & ATC's Slow Cooker Revolution

Williams-Sonoma website offers tons of recipes on their website, including tips, videos and techniques.

The Italian Slow Cooker by Michele Scicolone is my favorite.
