Good Books expands its best-selling cookbook line

Good Books has contracted with Simon & Schuster for sales, distribution and fulfillment for all of its titles, effective June 1. Known best for the New York Times best-selling “Fix-It and Forget-It” cookbooks, Good Books also publishes health, family/parenting, peace and justice, arts and crafts, and Amish/Mennonite titles.

Phyllis Pellman Good, senior editor and “Fix-It and Forget-It” author, said the publisher’s big fall title is its first full-color cookbook in the line, the Fix-It and Forget-It New Cookbook. Releasing in October, it includes 250 new slow-cooker recipes.

In May, Good Books brings to market another cookbook, which has stove-top and oven recipes rather than slow-cooker selections for diabetics. Fix-It and Enjoy-It! Church Suppers Diabetic Cookbook is written in conjunction with the American Diabetes Association. 

Last fall, the company released the Fix-It and Forget-It Pink Cookbook with a portion of the proceeds going to the Avon Foundation for Women Breast Cancer Crusade.

Other forthcoming titles include The Christmas Visitor, an Amish romance by Linda Byler (September); Fire in the Night (May) and Davey’s Daughter (October), suspenseful romance in the “Lancaster Burning” series also by Byler; An Amish Garden by Laura Anne Lapp with photography by Jeremy Hess (April); Necessary Conversations: Between Adult Children and Their Aging Parents by Gerald W. Kaufman and L. Marlene Kaufman (May); and Tips for Quilting by the staff of The Old Country Store in Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County (November).
