You will need to decide how many cookbooks to order and how you are going to collect the money. Once you have your customized order form, send one home with each student. We suggest customers prepay and then you can get a good idea of how many to order. Once order forms are returned add on a few more copies to account for “stragglers”. When your supply is getting low you can always order more at the same price (30 copies minimum for reorders). That way you won’t be left with unsold product. 2. You will also need to decide beforehand how you will distribute the pre-ordered cookbooks. Will the students take them home or will you mail them? If mailing be sure to include the cost of the envelope and shipping in the cost of the book. 3. Something to consider: once your cookbook is distributed to the original buyers, others will want to order. We suggest putting an order form as the last page of the cookbook with the school address and email information. The cost displayed on this sheet should include an additional cost for shipping/handling and that the buyer must include a cheque or money order. 4. Get everyone to type their own recipes and email them to you (written recipes not good as handwriting too often illegible). Once you receive the recipes you can do the cut and paste method into the Word template we provide. Make sure you make the titles and text uniform throughout the book for a more professional look.( Or, you can transfer the recipes to any program you prefer to use as long as you email your completed file in PDF format.) 5. Make sure the contributors add their names so they get credit for the recipe. It is also a good idea to have them include personal tips and/or comments on the recipe. 6. If there are ethnic recipes with unfamiliar ingredients, encourage contributors to suggest where these ingredients may be purchased locally. 7. You may include advertisements from local businesses if you wish to help defray the cost of the cookbook. Just ask them for a business card. These can be scanned in and placed in the cookbook. Business cards are perfect because they have all the address info etc. in concise format. You may also include student drawings and/or photographs if you wish. 8. Some local businesses might offer to put a sample copy on their counter for you with your contact info. Make sure you write SAMPLE in big letters and extra order forms that they can take away with them so the business doesn’t have to get involved in collecting the money.
