Cookbook Author Admits
She Has Mixed Emotions


 AUGUSTA--Marjorie Standish, 
Maine Sunday Telegram
food columnist, finds she is
living in a world of contradictions.

On the one hand, she says,
she is happy to know that with
more than 1,000 advance orders
in less than a week, success
appears assured for her first
hard cover cookbook, "Cooking
Down East."

On the other, she is concerned
because publishing complications 
mean the book will
not be available for distribution
until the middle of December,
at least. And it might 
be later than that.

The status of her book is 
this:

Printing has been completed
at the Kennebec Journal Print
shop and the book has been
forwarded to the bindery in
Boston.

Unless unforeseen delays
crop up, the first shipment of
books should be received during
the week of Dec. 16.

"Cooking Down East" will
contain more than 300 of Marjorie
Standish's favorite and
most sought-after recipes. It
will be attractively bound between 
pumpkin yellow covers.
Illustrations by Penelope Watts
will mark chapter breaks.

The cookbook is being distributed
by the Maine Sunday
Telegram as a public service.
Reservations are now being
processed and will be handled
on a first come, first served
basis. The accompanying coupon
is provided for your convenience.
