Are All your cookbooks vegetarian?

i've been a vegetarian for 6 years and all my cookbooks are either vegan or vegetarian. I was recently looking on amazon and i saw The Complete America's Test Kitchen cookbook and i figured since it has over 600 recipes in it even tho it isn't vegetarian it most likely has dishes that are or that can be easily changed. If you do have non-veg cookbooks whats your favorite one?

1. 'Mastering The Art of french cooking', written by Julia Child
2. I am a certified chef and studied in Germany, where we used a Swiss cook book that is the bible for all European chefs: "Eugen Pauli - Classical Cooking the Modern Way". This book is for pros and serious hobby chefs who want to understand all about the methods used in a kitchen - it is not vegetarian, but I still hang on to it for the skills and techniques described. Then I would suggest any good Thai or Indian cook book you can get your hands on, as they may already feature good veg dishes, or you can replace their non-veg ingredients easily. Asian cooking is my favorite as I love the many spices and herbs they use.
3. Nope- I have several cookbooks, and some aren't vegan. Great Tastes Italian is one of my favorite non-veg ones- it has a ton of accidentally-vegan recipes, or recipes that can be made vegan by subbing in Earth Balance/soymilk. Ethnic cookbooks are usually great even if they aren't intended for vegetarians. But I get most of my recipes from my 'scrapbook-cookbook', where I just store all the recipes I've come across either online or in other cookbooks and really liked. Piecemeal.
