Slow cooker cookbook

Can anyone recommend a cook book for slow cookers?
I'm finally getting round to getting one after much prevarication, but after reading various websites think I may have to modify my cooking methods.
I'm interested in basics, stocks,soups, stews etc My daughter says her stews tend to be on the thin side and its this sort of thing I want to avoid.
Thanks in advance

See this thread - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4797591 if you don't mind websites rather than cook books.
If you want an actual book then I have seen 3 in Tesco last week, 2 at £3 and 1 at £5, the £5 one looks good so I'm going to buy a copy of that this weekend.
As for the stews being on the thin side - slow cookers tend to need less liquid in for recipes than if you were cooking in an oven as none of the liquid really evaporates off - it is all kept inside by the lid.
As such you can either put less liquid in to start, or if it is still too thin at the end then make a cornflour and cold water mix and stir this in for the last hour/half hour of cooking. You'll find this thickens it right up.
cheers
