I Still Say It’s Overpriced

My pals over at Eater.com just spotted Sandra Lee’s memoirs on the DOLLAR TABLE at Barnes & Noble. The best part? IT’S AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY!
A few weeks ago, an FNH reader sent us some audio of her “reading” from the “book.” We set the audio to pictures, and you can watch the video by clicking here.

How sad is that? I almost feel bad for her.
*Almost* but not quite. :P
Exactly. ;-)
Still too much!
Zing!
Well, if it’s any consolation, I did see this in a local thrift shop. On Marvelous Mondays, there is a 50% discount for books- so the dollar price tag for the used copy is down to a reasonable 50 cents.
STILL TOO MUCH
“Made From Scratch” was the boring title she had to settle on when her original, and much more interesting and honest title “Fucking My Way Out Of Poverty!”….. was rejected!
I personally know Sandra’s publisher and her first copy was originally called “Sell My Snatch”.
I would feel bad for her, had I not seen her go on “The 700 Club” to promote the book when it came out. Really, Aunt Sandy? Are you really trying to pass your drunken memoirs off as a religiously inspirational tome of wisdom?
That’s insulting to most 700 Club viewers. Aunt Drunky, shacking up with a sleazeball politician: yeah, that’s the kind of author they like.
You mean as opposed to her husband, the convicted felon?
What is even more sad is that it looks like it is the only book left on that dollar table.
I’m not familiar with this book. How long ago was it originally published? I’m just curious as to how fast it was relegated to the dollar table.
The book was published in 2007 and was listed as a biography. From the get go the book never had a chance. If the book was listed under fiction, or horror, i’m sure it would never found itself on the dollar table.
I don’t much care for her as a cook or a television personality but I still admire her for the sacrifices she made on behalf of her family, and her success in lifting them all out of terrible poverty. Not enough that I would pay $1 for her bio though. I know more than I ever needed to know about her from watching Chefography.
That’s what she’d like people to believe but it’s not true. It wasn’t terrible poverty. Grandma Lorraine was always sending her hundreds of dollars when she was in college. They might have been poor but they weren’t destitute and she sacrificed nothing.This book of hers is complete fiction and has many gaps and holes in it – just like her brain.
I want that book! I would so pay a dollar for a few minutes of entertainment. I’m heading to Barnes&Noble!
Save yourself a buck and get it from the library (I just did). Ought to be good for few laughs.
And can I just tell you, this is one ssssuper sssssuper ssssimple and sssssuper sssssuper cheap book.
I did read this book to see just how awful her childhood really was. There are so many gaps it’s laughable. She took care of her siblings for such a short time. She left them. She has used this tragic childhood story enough. It’s still no excuse for being the bad cook and alcoholic she is today.She never bothered to study or learn anything except how to marry a rich man who would buy her fame. She forgets to mention that as well as the fact that he was a married man when she started fooling around with him. She would and has done anything to be famous and this so called tragic childhood is just a storyscape to match her tasteless,classless,talentless pathetic existance.
We need a ‘Sandra Cam’ installed at B&N immediately. For one, to monitor how long the book is displayed in shame. Also just to capture the poor soul who finally parts with a dollar for it.
That’s a horrible picture of her. BTW I had her show on, which I never do (too lazy to find the remote after Ina’s show) and was laughing at her exaggerated pronunciations: “It saves llllllots of money” “This smells grrrrreat!” That is terrrrrrific” STFU moron.
One dollar is cheap compared the six bucks I saw it going for at Books-a-Million today.
‘Made From Scratch’ is a laughable title considering nothing she makes is from scratch. Or is she referring to her conception? Back in her day all kids were made from scratch. Nowadays the Semi-Homemade kids are known as test tube babies.
She’ll never be able to afford her booze if they keep giving those books away! Poor Sandra…I’m seeing DT’s in her future.
