Does anybody have this Gilligan's Island Cookbook called "Mary Ann's Gilligan's Island Cookbook?" Are the recipes good in it? I saw it on Amazon used for around $2-3. Not bad, it's apparently out of print.

What is it, recipes for things she cooked on the show?

I don't have it personally, but my cousin does. It's a pretty neat book because aside from recipies, there are tons of really cool pictures and personal stories from Dawn Wells.
As far as the recipies go, a good deal of them are 'tropical' (I think there's about 20 different coconut cream pie recipies!) but there are other foods to.
I think that sounds like a good deal though.
Hope I helped!

Most of the recipies are just made up for the book and they use titles and characters from the show in the names of the recipies.

I don't cook so I have never tried any of the recipies, but there are a lot of good pictures in there and a little behind the scenes info.

I got mine new only last year. For some reason this place still has new copies. http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=235297
