Review
"Unadulterated joy and sheer pleasure!" GAMBIT WEEKLY (NEW ORLEANS)
"Finally, the how-to book Time-Life forgot to publish!" PAPERMAG -- Publisher Comments
Do the words outrageous, hilarious, scandalous entice you at all? If so, pick up the Drag Queen's Cookbook & Guide to Sensible Living. It will titillate your funny bone from start to finish. Honey van Campe, the 'nom de drag' of the author serves up a delightful step by step approach to the making of the ultimate transvestite. She seems to feel there is a real gap between the women's books written in the "years B.C. (Before Chanel)" and the Goddess-on-the-Go today. An obvious need is fulfilled here and she answers all the imponderables for T.V. and, if you'll pardon the expression, lay-man alike. She deals with Elementary Drag, Dragspeak, and Family Matters. There's Schmatte Talk and the keys to true beauty in numerous laugh laden chapters. As van Campe states "The guest is the enemy," and if dinner happens to be late? Let them tour your wardrobe. Things will never be the same again, "...but the moment will be saved and no one will ever hate you for serving a tardy meal." Add to it the Social Dues/ Social Don'ts and the recipe is there for you to cook up a whole new persona. Speaking of cooking, the second half of the book offers recipes and instruction, with wry yet insightful comments thrown in for good measure. Van Campe must have scoured the kitchens of many a friend to find these recipes from Meat-A-Man Casserole submitted by Miss Polly Morfuss to Lady Finger Steaks by Miss Mary Exmass. There's even a Barbie-Q to tempt any girl's palette. It's a riotous mix of fun and fancy from start to finish, lavishly illustrated with photos of the great and near great in T.V. land. So have your friends together for a wonderful faboo, and remember here is everything you'll need to take on the world. Go girl, go. -- From Independent Publisher

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
