I own quite a suite of Nigella books and I have enjoyed reading them all. (I actually read them cover to cover like a novel!). Some are more useful than others in terms of recipes that I actually use. Firstly, How to Eat (her first) has the most useful information in it, but it's not a really "pretty" cookbook as there aren't lots of photos but it's the one I'd use most often (of Nigella's). How to Be a Domestic Godess is also a great one - lots of good recipes for cakes and nice photos. I also use her Summer book quite often. I got Feast about 6 months ago and also it's great reading, I've found some of the recipes are a bit too inaccessible - I'm not going to go out and buy pheasant or whole trout etc.

Anyway, that's my two cents worth!

Take care
