This topic is now open. I'll try to think of some nonfiction books I've read and add them. Any suggestions?

Sans, Is that a book which tells you how to write a romance novel?
Hmmm, not really. It's more of a survey and breakdown of the elements of modern romance. Everything from types of heroes/heroines, plot devices, why we read romance, the changes to romance novels over the decades (Old Skool vs New Skool), the effect reading romance has on the reader, all wrapped up in a piss-yourself-from-laughing irreverence. It pokes fun of the genre we all love and love to hide. I'd call it a social survey of a global phenomenon.

I don't know if cookbooks count, but if they do, I recommend Eat, Shrink, & Be Merry by Janet & Greta Podleski
Thanks Diane. Sorry Sans, somehow I forgot to add the book.
Lisa, if it makes you feel better I forgot that I even recommended the book. Seriously.
Thanks for the recommendation Diane.
