Today, while shopping in an emporium type store, I found this cookbook with its cover. It was on sale for $1.50. I had never heard of her. I noticed that an introduction was written by Duncan Hines. I didn't even know that Duncan Hines, (you know the name on the cake mix box) had written the introduction. After I got home, I opened the book and saw that it had been autographed by the author.
