I tried to reply directly, but the mail didn't go through ...

When I gave up meat, I found that the most helpful book was "Laurel's
Kitchen," which has since come out in paper.  It has loads of nutritional
information, good recipes, and a nice general sensibility.  "Diet for a
Small Planet" has lots of nutritional info and recipes, too, but the
recipes tends to be a bit bland.  One of my favorite cookbooks is "The
Moosewood Cookbook" by Molly Katzen.  It's a little too cute, but has
great recipes!!  

Good luck with the switch.  I've felt much healthier since I gave up meat
8 years ago.  I was at that time living in a city (Ithaca, NY) with three
veggie restaurants and vegetarian main dishes at most other restaurants in
town, as well as a lot of sources of inexpensive and good produce, so it
was easy to make the switch.  It's been a lot harder since coming to
Chicago, "hog butcher to the world."
