A: Recipe contributors are the first to buy, averaging 3 cookbooks each. Friends, family, and community members will also purchase, especially if funds support a good cause. Cookbooks easily sell for 2–3 times their cost. Very few fundraising products offer this high profit margin. If you want to publish and sell 100 or more cookbooks, please visit Morris Press Cookbooks.

A: Yes; however, most families publish their cookbook as a keepsake and not for fundraising. When sold at cost, cookbooks make a very affordable keepsake item. See our base prices.

A: We do not accept orders smaller than 12 cookbooks. Yes, you can order more than 96 cookbooks. For larger quantities, you may also want to consider creating your cookbooks with our sister company, Morris Press Cookbooks.

A: Your book may contain no more than 260 billable pages. Billable pages include recipe pages, index pages, and additional personal pages beyond the 4 free pages.

A: The average cookbook contains 150–250 recipes.

A: Maybe; our recipe formats average 2 recipes per page, which helps determine our base price structure. Cookbooks with long recipes or variations may result in more pages, bumping you up to a higher per book price.

A: We do NOT edit recipes or any other content since you type and create everything online. At any time, you can proof all parts of your cookbook and make changes and corrections as needed.

A: You may use brand names (Jell-O®, Hershey's®, Nestle®, etc.) in your ingredients list. Do not submit any recipe titles that are trademarked. Examples include Runza®, Killer Brownies®, and Derby Pie®. If our system encounters known trademarked titles, you will be prompted to change the recipe title.

A: Yes, you may include recipes from various sources, except for those that are trademarked names (see question above). You may be infringing on a copyright if you use complete works, such as all the recipes from one cookbook. Keep in mind that personal recipes with individual names help sell your cookbooks.

The software program automatically places fillers based on size and available space. You can choose which category you want them in, but you will not be able to move them or determine the order in which they are used.

A: No; our divider sets are preprinted and cannot be changed.

A: Yes, you may have any wording for your cover title and subtitle. Keep in mind that space is limited – if wording is too long, it will be shrunk to fit. Stock covers cannot be changed in any other way.

A: Our copyright protects our full-color stock covers, custom photo covers, divider sets, recipe formats, and cooking hints.

A: Getting images on your screen to appear as sharp and clean on the printed page is a challenge. Your monitor most likely is not calibrated to our standards, so images will look different from one monitor to another. Plus, you will be viewing your photo in RGB mode (not CMYK mode, which is required for printing). We convert all RGB photos to CMYK, which can slightly modify colors. For a color photo to be used on one of our custom photo cover templates, you may want to modify the brightness, contrast, and color in a photo-editing program. Photos on personal pages will be converted to black/white – you will be able to view this as you proof. If you want more contrast, adjust your photos accordingly and replace them on the page.

Image resolution will also contribute to how a photo will print. Many digital photos are only 72 ppi (pixels per inch) and will look clear and sharp on a monitor. However, when printed, it will look blocky and pixilated. Therefore, the ideal resolution for printing your images is 300 pixels per inch. You cannot resave a 72 ppi photo to 300 ppi without affecting the size of the photo. For more information about image resolution, download our Digital Image Specifications (PDF) and visit www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/image-quality. Simply Cookbooks™ cannot be responsible for photo quality since we do not color correct or make alterations to the photos you upload.

A: Our recipe formats are not designed to accommodate photos, but you may place unlimited photos on your personal pages, which will be printed in black ink (1 FREE; additional are 5¢/photo/book).

A: Simply Cookbooks™ guarantees your satisfaction with the workmanship of your book. It must pass several quality inspection checks before shipping.

Defects not due to shipping damage must be reported to us within 30 days. Because your cookbooks are a custom-made product, we reserve the right to repair, replace, or credit defective books.
