New (Old) Cookbook: The I Hate to Cook Book 50th Anniversary Edition

The 50th Anniversary edition of THE I HATE TO COOK BOOK, written by Peg Bracken, will be published on July 26, 2010.

The book has a terrific cover with retro graphic art. I'm not sure I can relate to the title, however...

I have to admit I've never heard of this book, although it's been around for so many years. Is anyone else familiar with it?

I found a New York Times obituary for the author, who passed away in 2007.
