'The Cookbook for Men Whose Wives Don't Cook' Breaks Consignment Sales Record at Chapters in Waterloo, Ontario

The Cookbook for Men Whose Wives Don't Cook is flying off bookstore shelves at selected Chapters and Indigo locations in Southern Ontario. Author Christopher Hamilton is excited over the reaction to his newly released book from Booksurge Publishing.

Burlington, Ontario (PRWEB) July 10, 2006 -- In January, 2006, Canadian author Christopher Hamilton released his new book, The Cookbook for Men Whose Wives Don't Cook. Its hilarious style, easy and fun to follow instructions, and delicious recipes have captured the appetite and funny bone of readers all over Canada and in the U.S.

After four months of touring selected Chapters and Indigo locations in Southern Ontario, leaving copies in each store on consignment, the results are in. The book broke the consignment sales record in the Waterloo, Ontario store and all but sold out at the other locations.

The author attributes most of these sales to television marketing, having appeared on CHCH television twice, CKCO television, and on CTV's Provincewide, and Good Morning Canada nationwide. While calls are coming in from all over Canada, Christopher is having difficulty keeping up with demand.

"Breaking into the traditional books market as a self-published author has been a difficult process," states Hamilton. "I know there is demand for the book across the country. Everyone who picks up the book almost pees themselves laughing, and I am getting inquiries all the time! I attended Book Expo Canada this year in order to expose myself to the marketplace, but the whole process moves very slowly. Rest assured, I am doing everything possible to get the book on bookstore shelves across Canada and the U.S."

Christopher is also actively "hounding" every form of media he can to promote what is becoming a bestseller. He also urges readers to "buy the book online at Amazon" until he can get them on bookstore shelves everywhere.

The book is a hilarious "how to" which can take anyone who doesn't know a spoon from a fork and teach them to prepare anything from a fried egg to a prime rib dinner. The book is written as if the author is in the kitchen with you, smacking you upside the head. It includes recipes for Turds, Mike's Rootin Tootin Son-of-English-Pig-Dog Chilli, and Pig's Tit and Cauliflower among some of the more colourful titles. It also features sections on Healthy Eating, Serving, Preparation, Kitchen Tools (Hand and Power) and a Glossary of Cooking Terms. There are over 100 recipes in the book, all sorted in order of "manliness".

The Cookbook for Men Whose Wives Don't Cook was published January 12, 2006 by Booksurge Publishing (ISBN 1-4196-2242-0), and is available at Booksurge.com, Amazon.com and its affiliates worldwide, at selected bookstores in Southern Ontario, and from the author.

Upcoming books from Christopher Hamilton include: Lessons in Hiking, Crap I Forgot To Put In My First Cookbook, How to Scare the Crap Out of Your Kids, and two photography books, The Turkey Vultures of Mount Nemo, and The Conservation Areas of Halton. Christopher Hamilton resides in Burlington, Ontario, Canada with his wife (who doesn't cook) and two daughters, and is a wildlife photographer and author. Currently you will find him in the kitchen cooking dinner.
