Joan Rivers is getting the book treatment again, this time thanks to her daughter Melissa. According to The Wrap, Melissa will write a new book called The Book of Joan: Tales of Mirth, Mischief, and Manipulation that will be a collection of her “funny, poignant, and irreverent observations, thoughts, and tales about the woman who raised her and is the reason she considers Valium one of the four basic food groups.” The book will be published by Crown Archetype and be available on May 5th. “In our family we always believed that laughter was the best medicine,” Rivers said in a statement. “Not only are there less side effects than Prozac but it’s a lot cheaper than therapy. I wanted to write a book that would make my mother laugh. I hope it makes you laugh, too.”
