"The First Time" - 1998

"The First Time"
by Cher and Jeff Coplon
Simon & Schuster, 1998
ISBN: 0-684-80900-1

Cher. There's really no one else quite like her.

She's been a pop star, a TV star, a movie star, and a wife and mother, yet as The New York Times has written, she's still "a funny, gutsy woman" who is also "genuine" and "down to earth."

And now, in The First Time, Cher tells about the important first-time events in her life.

• Memories of her mother
• Movie (Dumbo, at age four, when she peed in her pants rather than go to the bathroom and miss anything)
• Public performance (a fifth-grade production of Oklahoma!)
• Memories of music (and her passion for West Side Story)
• Time she met her father (at age 11)
• Taste of the good life
• Bra
• Kiss
• Boyfriend
• Time living with Sonny Bono (at age 16, in a platonic arrangement in which she cleaned his apartment)
• Time in a recording studio (singing backup for Phil Spector)
• Hit record (I Got You Babe")
• Time she met the Rolling Stones
• Time she felt like a star
• Fall from grace (when her records stopped selling)
• Bob Mackie gown
• Sonny & Cher TV show
• Tattoo
• Bad boy (Greg Allman)
• Solo stage show
• Apology from Sonny
• Academy Award nomination (Silkwood)
• Fight with a director (Peter Bogdanovich, director of Mask)
• Reunion with Sonny (on the Letterman show, 1987)
• Mook from Queens (Rob Camilletti)
• Academy Award (Moonstruck)
• Extramarital affair
• Infomercial
• Realization that her daughter was gay
• Eulogy (for Sonny)

And much, much more -- the true story of the events that shaped Cher's life, told in her own inimitable way, with dozens of photographs, most from her own albums. The First Time is frank, funny, surprising, occasionally outrageous, sometimes sad, and always completely honest -- like Cher herself.

"Cooking For Cher" - 1997
by Andy Ennis, Cher, Joan Nielsen
(From Booklist, August 19, 1997)
Name recognition alone guarantees readership for this book--and a pretty steady diet of requests is in the offing. Cher's personal chef has concocted a medley of recipes (more than 75) that answers all low-fat, lean-cuisine needs. But the dishes are rather ordinary, reflecting middle-of-the-road culinary habits rather than innovation or unique techniques. More than a few, though, require kitchen time few home chefs can afford to spend; they include chicken sausage lasagna and spinach-carrot rolls. The occasional sidebars about the author's "boss" are charming and occasionally revealing. Appended are 10 guidelines to being "lean and clean," a 10-day meal plan, and menus for special occasions.
