Scholarships & Book Clubs

May 23, 2006

Thanks for all the emails from former Betty Crocker Scholarship winners in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. Keep them coming - I love to hear your stories. I've also heard from quite a few of you who would like me to answer a few questions for their book club discussion. Keep those question coming too. I'm more than happy to answer!

Paperback!

Good news! Finding Betty Crocker will be in paperback next spring. The University of Minnesota Press will be publishing it 2007. My alma matter! Currently, Simon & Schuster is my publisher for the hardcover version.

Happy May Day!

The Satellite Sister’s were a blast. What a great show! And it was fun to get all the emails from listeners who heard about Finding Betty Crocker for the first time.
A question that keeps popping up: Where can I find the book? The easiest way is to order through Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.com. And certainly my book is available at all major bookstores, but I think the problem people are having is finding my book once they are in the store. And this could be because my book isn’t in stock. So please ask a bookseller and they will be happy to order it for you. They don’t restock unless there is a demand and if no one says anything, then they don’t know about the demand!

If you are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area I recommend three bookstores that carry the book:

Micawber’s Books 651-646-5506
Birchbark Books (612) 374-4023
Amazon Bookstore Cooperative 612-821-9630

Don’t forget Mother’s Day is coming soon. Finding Betty Crocker makes a great gift! Although wouldn’t it be weird if someone gave me a copy?
