In 1962, the year of Irma Rombauer's death, a revised edition of ''Joy of Cooking'' was published. This edition was released without Marion Becker's consent. Subsequent releases of the book during 1963 and 1964 were essentially massive corrections, and Becker arranged for the publisher to exchange copies of the 1962 edition for later corrected versions upon request.<ref name=Mendelsohn />{{rp|342}}

The foreword of the 1962 edition explains that Becker's favorite recipes include "[[Cockaigne]]" in the name, (e.g., "Fruit Cake Cockaigne"), after the name of her country home in Anderson Township, near [[Cincinnati]].<ref>

This edition was also published in paperback format (most notably, a two-volume [[mass market paperback]] edition); it is still widely available in used bookstores.  The 1962 edition was also released as a single-volume [[Comb binding |comb-ring bound]] paperback mass-market edition starting in November 1973 and continuing into the early 1990s.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Joy of Cooking|date=1973|isbn= 0-452-25665-8|author1=Rombauer, Irma |author2=Rombauer Becker, Marion }}</ref>
