First published book?[edit]

Quoting from the article: "[...] Delia Smith's first published book [...], published in 1971.[...] She had temporary retired for five years after the success of her How To Cook book series."

So that "How To Cook" series was not published? And the article also mentions that the book was published in 2008, not 1971. Could somebody please check and clarify? --Stizzleswick (talk) 00:28, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I came to this page to ask the exact same question. It is not clear at all. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 10:03, 28 September 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Just clarified in the article - she released two books called How to Cheat at Cooking. The first was her original release back in the 1970s, then the one that everyone is familiar with came out in 2008. Miyagawa (talk) 10:13, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
