Lynn, love Lulu. She is just as beautiful today as she has ever been.
She is featured on the "Duane Allman Antholigy II" album.

Just thought I would weigh in with what I think is an important consideration. For most kinds of books which may only be read once...an e-book might work well...but for a cookbook...consider how it would be used. How many times do you look through a cookbook? I have an enormous collection of cookbooks that I peruse on a frequent basis looking for a new recipe or a favorite one. If I use my computer, it is only to search for a specific recipe which I then must print off and take to the kitchen in order to use it. My computer is not in the kitchen. So...for ease of use...I much prefer a hardbound cookbook that I can keep in my kitchen and use over and over. Others may have different preferences...but I would pay far more for a cookbook I can physically hold in my hands than for an ebook where I have to suffer through advertising I don't want, an e-dress I will probably forget and other issues. I may be old fashioned...but I love cookbooks...if they are real books. 
It may be a good idea to offer options in order to accommodate the preferences of different folks.
Hugs,
Bobbie

I use cookbooks and I use the internet to search for recipes. Like Bobby, I thoroughly enjoy holding a cookbook in my hand and perusing it for recipes.

I see no reasons other than possible financial, that would preclude offering both a hard copy and an ebook.
Oh, just occurred to me, DOH, one could easily use a three ring binder to hold the pages of an ebook.
I know we have on binder chock full of recipes.

I agree with Bobbie. I keep the cookbooks in the kitchen. Recipes I find online I print out and then stick to the 'frigerator (which is in the kitchen). No computer in the kitchen. We ain't that high-tech, and probably never will be. If I had the e-book, I would end up printing out the recipes I wanted. If it was already printed, I wouldn't have to.

Looks like a print book is in order. Three ring? I don't know.
This thread is only prelimenary. Brian has not weighed in yet.
We started talking about recipes, then the thought of raising money came in later. I'm all for it, but someone besides Brian ( working in conjunction with Brian) needs to spearhead the project and take it to a serious level.
It will require money that will need to go into a different account than the general JPF fund. Of course all of the monies will eventually end up with JPF.
We need to think of a way to do this without spending any money on overhead.

Ben, a 3-ring binder is ideal from the user's standpoint (my opinion, now). However, that is *not* an inexpensive way to produce it, particularly if it's going to be in quantity. Lot of hand-work involved in doing a 3-ring binder; I've done it (I produced The Joe Songbook that way), but unless you've got a passel of fast, competent peasants who will work for nothing (which I did not, by the way, in case anyone's curious), it probably doesn't pencil out. "Normal" paperback bookbinding is cheaper, albeit less user-friendly.

We could have a PDF file instead of an e-book. (I thought those were downloadable.) PDF's can have audio files imbedded now. At least that is what I heard. I will check around.
Brian, if you are up, are you interested in us using a cookbook for fundraising purposes?

My suggestion of a three ring binder was for those who would have downloaded the ebook.
Jean, most of the ebooks I've seen are in pdf and can be downloaded.

Since we already have some recipes coming in, should I just start threads for each kind of dish,: like Entre, Meat, Chicken, Soup etc. and if so where should the posts go?

Hey all you cooks and cook-ettes!
I posted this a while back to Tricia I think, but thought I'd post it here too since it seems to fit the subject matter.
Though it's very late in the game (the on-line deadline is tomorrow the 20th), if you feel like whipping up an award-winning recipe for the 44th Pillsbury Bakeoff, you could win a million bucks!! All details are in link below:
http://www.pillsbury.com/Bakeoff/Default.aspx
I'm going to try to make something strictly from wheelchair height....see if that might be a niche market!!
Gotta roll....
Beth
P.S. And oh yes, GOOD LUCK!!

Just a side note for those foodies out there. My niece, Courtney Clark, will be featured again tonight on the FOOD NETWORK...on the program, Last Cake Standing. This is the third of four episodes of an elimination. She won last week's mystery client show, making the winning wedding cake. This week's cake will feature Superheroes. I think they are down to 4 contestants now.
ALSO...Courtney will be one of three contestants featured on THE VIEW this Wednesday, making a birthday cake for Sherrie Shepherd. If anyone knows what channel The View is on...please let me know as I definitely want to watch.
Courtney is an absolutely amazing cake artist. She owns Cake Nouveau, a cake and cupcake shop in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. You can see the caliber of her artistry at http://www.cakenouveau.com
Hugs,
Bobbie

Hi Jean,
I am so glad you checked her out. I absolutely agree. She is adorable AND outstandingly talented. I think they like her at the Food Network. They keep using her likeness in their ads. She was also featured in last week's STAR magazine (yeah I am sure you get that magazine every week. LOL) the one with Tori Spelling on the cover. It was a half page photo of her working on a cake plus a discussion about the show....Last Cake Standing. If you managed to catch the show last night...her cake won that competition also. So now it is down to three competitors. Make sure you watch the final episode next Sunday!!
Hugs,
Bobbie

OK. I am going to go ahead and start separate threads for the recipe categories. I can't think of any other way to do it. Be back in a little to start it.

Jean, The recipes that I donate come from my blog http://southerncookingeasyrecipes.blogspot.com which is copyrighted material. You have my permission to print them by all means. I'm just wondering if there will be a cross copyright problem, or if they are published on the web in the form of a blog, there could be a duplicate content problem. I think that if you use my recipes, my blog would have to be given credit. I'm not trying to plug my blog, just avoiding trouble with Google. Ben

Hi, Ben. Well, if they are your own recipes and you give us permission to print them, we should be able to. We most certainly want to give credit to our contributors and we will include the blog address when we publish them.

Jean, a friend of mine in England has just put me on to this site: http://www.blurb.com/.
He said the quality of the books that he's seen (photography) has been excellent.
Might be worth checking out.
