Baitcon Cookbook Status

[donnad.livejournal.com]

Final totals:

169 pages plus several blank sheets at the end for people to hand write in any recipes that they want but didn't make the recipe deadline.

128 recipes total
84 recipes for frozen stuff, ice cream, sorbets, sherbets...

meal recipes
baked goods recipes
special recipes for sugar free ice creams and gluten free baked goods
Kimberly being silly
Many many photographs (most taken from my own archives but also many taken from the pages at baitcon.org.
Photos on almost every page.
Several full page photo collages.

I removed the section on miserable failures since I only had one submission that anyone would admit to being a failure and it wouldn't have been fair to the person who created the recipe to have been the only one thought to be a failure, so I just inserted that recipe in with the other regular recipes.

I have 10 more copies of the divides to print, then I start the actual pages.

I decided to do 40 copies afterall, 12 are already spoken for. If I sell out (hopefully) at Baitcon, I will take orders and make more and mail them to people.

Cost will be $10 each.

I already spent $200. on ink and will need more by the end of this week (I already get my ink in bulk, a dozen cartridges at a time, and I get a discount when I order on-line) Unless someone wants to offer the use of a color laser printer they will be printed on my ink jet. (believe it or not, even with the price of ink, it's less expensive than just doing color photocopies at $1. each (6000 copies.))

If I do happen to make more money off this than what I have spent I will donate whatever is left after cost to the Baitcon Red Ink Fund. (BRIF?)

If you want a copy, comment here and I'll put your name on one to be picked up at Baitcon this year, or we can make arrangements for it to be mailed or picked up by someone else if you can't be there this year.

If its better for you

email me your address to this account and I'll drop a check into the mail to you this week for my copy.

Thanks for doing this!!

i'll go for a copy, certainly!

i wonder too if people wouldn't want a kind of "collectors" cd-rom with the cookbook, and user contributed picture gallery thing - kinda like cookbook plus? (online, searchable even :>)

thanx for doing this!

I thought of doing a CD of the cookbook but I have no clue who so many of the people in the pictures are so doing it searchable would be a problem. I was going to just make the whole cookbook into a PDF and dump it to CD. We'll see how much time and energy I have after I get 40 of the paper copies printed and bound.

Thanks for all your hard work on the cookbook!

Your welcome, I hope people aren't disappointed.

[mycroft.livejournal.com]

I'll take one.

Unfortunately we can't make it, but I'd like one, please...

[donnad.livejournal.com]

Okay, who are you and how do I get it to you? you can email me at my lj address.

I like your ice cream icon BTW. It looks more like ice cream than mine. As coraline pointed out, mine looks a bit like balls of yarn.

OK, I'll emerge from the shadows. :-)

Glad you like the icon! Have to admit, I didn't create it... I found it here (http://www.avatarity.com/).
