For Christmas I got £30 earmarked for brewing, I've already spent £20 of it on ingredients (and P&P) for beer. I now have £10 left and would like to spend it on brewing books, I mainly brew wine and already have First steps and 130 new wine recipes (both by CJJB), make wines like those you buy (Bryan Acton and Peter Duncan), Booze for Free (Andy Hamilton) and would like a new one to add to the collection, liqueur recipes would also be appreciated.
 
Ended up buying "The complete home winemaker and brewer" and "1000 wine and beer making hints and recipes" the first from recommendations of the book section (thanks dennis) the second because that was what I could afford. Will tell you what they're like when they arrive (supposedly wednesday)

It's in the beer brewing talk, called "Beer Brewing Books Review".
