I would like to give a gift to a child relative of mine. She wants to be a chef when she becomes of age. Anyway, more to the point, I am trying to buy a cook-book for her valued at over $60. Can someone pass on a coupon code to me?

Amazon will give you a $30 off certificate if you get their credit card (which has no annual fee). If that's a possility for you, that sounds like a bigger "coupon" than any conventional "coupon" you're likely to find.
In fact, often if you go to buy an item over $30 (straight from Amazon, not from one of its "used & new" resellers), when you get to the "choose your payment" section of Checkout, you'll get a choice to "place your order" or "save $30 now", where the latter button is explained by:
"Sign up now and take $30 off this order with your new pre-approved Amazon.com Visa Card!"
(I don't know if this works for everybody, tho. It does happen for me usually.)
If you do get that, you can handle it all in one step, and not have to do the card thing in a separate step first.
