In my original thread (I had a thought - can this work) I had mentioned about the eBook thinking that it would be handy for people overseas and yes would also save printing costs.This is maybe something we could look at possible where people could maybe choose which type they like - some people prefer no "paper" clutter and would prefer on computer and some prefer the good old books.
How do you know when a recipe is well loved and use!When the page in the recipe book is covered in cooking splatters! - does anyone else have this problem.Mine is from when way before we had the recipe holders or protectors to shield them lol.
Currently sitting at 93 recipes without the celebrity ones - well done everyone!

Just an idea for a title 'Great Shakes... and other recipes'
of course it would need smoothie recipes for this to work

doing it as a e-book will certainly limit your market as well :)

Hi guys - that is excellent news. Just spoke to Andrea and at present she is flat out - she has your email and will send through - may be an idea to hook you up with our lady in ChCh who is co-ordinating the celebrity section and work out how has and who has not been contacted.Are you on the TradeMe Facebook page - can get hold of me that way if you like and I can give you details for her.Well done guys. Thanks Pat

I have organised a fundraising cookbook for my kids primary school. It was a big hit, we sold out within 2 weeks. We are in process of doing another, selling for $15. We covered ourselves with the copyright issue with printing a disclaimer on the front inside page, it read: Every care has been taken to ensure the correctness of the recipes printed in this book, but as all recipes have been contributed, no responsibility can be accepted for results or any infringements of copyrights.

Hi burney2 - thanks for that - will pass this info onto Andrea (fastlanenz).School fundraising books are great aren't they.All the best with the next one.Just out of curiosity how many do you do when you print them.Thanks

Hi guys, I just posted on the chocolate yogurt banana cake thread in reply but I see no reason for a problem using the recipe in this way.

Hi, we have about 260 families at school and we printed 700 copies. They were A5 and 130 pages (65 leaves). We sell the front inside cover and back cover (full colour), we give the printer the inside back cover for their own advertising so we get a good discount on the printing cost. We also sell the first page of each section (we do this in black & white to keep costs down but they still look good), so businesses can have like a business card advert and we put a recipe from them underneath ad. These cookbooks are fantastic cause no one is going to put a dud recipe in with their name next to it :)

This is why I suggested that we PM our recipes to the girls either through their FB page or to their email address.

There have been lots of recipes come through via email and facebook which has been great.The best part of it is that SOR wont have the recipes and people will have to buy the book to find out what is in there.For those who dont have facebook by all means put them on here. Remember this recipe book is for ChCh earthquake.It will take time for them to get back on their feet and every little bit helps. Andrea (fastlanenz) has been super busy lately with herprior engagements- very busy lady - and once she has a break in her schedule we will have better idea on how many more recipes we need etc.Currently sitting about 126 recipes, excluding the celebrity ones, and my first thought was for about 200 to make it a nice thick type book but will update more as we go along.Many thanks folks.
