I know they have software for creating them----------I had some years ago.

However-- how hard can it be to format recipes, etc?

I use to have my own DT pub and marketing thingy so maybe only I think it's easy?

I'll help in any way I can.

Great idea! I love the fact the the proceeds would go to a rescue

drawlins27 · 06-13-2007, 12:16 PM

I don't know who would need to approve it, but here are some links to some publishers who specialize in creating cookbooks for fundraising. Most publishers will require a minimum order of around 200 or so cookbooks so you would need to make sure that you can sell at least 200 of the finished cookbook. I think that the only real hurdle you will have is finding a publisher who will let you submit your own pictures instead of using their stock photos. I know that the first one does let you submit your own photo for the cover and will do custom fillers and I'm sure most will be willing to work something out.

Some of these site offer free templates as well, if you wanted to do it yourself and take it in to someplace like Kinko's for the binding. If you use the software, make sure that it doesn't state for personal use only.

Wonderful idea! Gracie thinks it should have a section of recipes for humans and one for doggies!

Doodlebug · 06-13-2007, 02:59 PM

I want one. Great idea to include doggy recipes!!!

simonandhallie · 06-13-2007, 03:02 PM

I think there is a ton to consider here. Admin would need to approve, that I know.

Also someone would have to be in charge of the project and from the calendar that's a pretty significant amount of time. Also wouldn't there need to be money up front for design, printing, etc.?

I'm not trying to be a downer but I don't think it's as simple as us just saying "great idea, let's do it"

Yorkiedaze · 06-13-2007, 04:08 PM

UYR put out cook books a couple years ago. Someone could ask Mary what all was involved in the making.
This is a good idea. I'm definately in!!
