This has lots of good ideas for decorating your pies, much more
than most, and because it's old it's pretty inexpensive. I got
mine in the bargain bin for a few bucks.
Martha Stewart's Pies & Tarts
<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/05...glance&n=283155>
The recipes themselves are good enough, but for great
recipes I'd go with "The Pie and Bible" By Rose Levy
Beranbaum.
Happy Holidays and best of luck with your pies.

I don't use a book, but I do put "shingles" on my two-crust pies! The
shingles are simply pie crust that I have cut with a flower or star
cookie cutter. Put them on beginning at the bottom rim, overlapping a
bit. Add more rows of shingles going round and round and toward the
center of the pie until you have a single shingle for the center. The
pies are beautiful, and there is no problem with a crimped edge
becoming too brown in the oven.

I fold the top crust in half, then in half again. I take a favorite tiny
metal cookie cutter and cut through all the layers near the point of the
folded dough. Un fold and lay on top. Sometimes I take the pieces that I cut
out and use water to glue them on the edges of the crust. I have a turkey I
use for Thanksgiving, a heart I often use, and others.
