The Recipe For A Great Fundraiser • A Step-By-Step Overview

Design Your Cookbook

We offer a wide selection of design choices for the cover, divider pages and recipe pages of your cookbook. Also, we can print your custom design on the cover and divider pages.

Begin designing your cookbook early because these decisions may take some time. Keep your cookbook's theme in mind. Choose features that your customers expect to see and that will add value in their eyes.

Cover & Binder
People judge a book by its cover, so give your cookbook a great one. Start with an imaginative title that says something positive and unique about your cookbook. Shorter titles are easier to remember and easier to fit in with the overall design and artwork of your cover.

Our standard covers are created by professional illustrators and photographers in a variety of styles which offer something for everyone.

As an option, we can reproduce in simple black-and-white or full-color a photograph, drawing, or other design you create. Although some Customer Designed Cover options involve additional charges, you can reasonably expect to recover the extra cost through increased sales. See the Price Chart and press-ready cover guidelines section for more information.

Almost any design can be printed on your choice of durable cover stock, hardback, or 3-ring binder. Our free plastic comb binding or our Designer Option Plasticoil binding lets your cookbook stay open to the correct page while in use. You choose the color that best coordinates with your cookbook's cover. You may also choose to imprint the plastic comb binder with your cookbook title or other wording of your choice.

Dividers
Dividers serve several important functions inside your cookbook:

• They help your customers find each section easily.
• The backs of our dividers have lists, charts, and tables of useful information for cooks.
• Your choice of dividers adds extra "flavor" to the interior of your cookbook.

We offer a wide variety of Standard Dividers (FREE) that coordinate with our standard cover designs. You may wish to choose one of our Tabbed Divider Sets or create your own Customer-Designed Dividers as a Designer Option.

Recipe Format & Ink Color
We offer a variety of recipe formats. Each is highly readable and attractive. The differences are mostly in the type style, the type size, and the alignment of the margins. Your recipe pages can be printed in black ink for FREE. You may instead choose a Designer Option ink color for a small additional charge.

Paper Stock
Our standard paper for your cookbook's recipe pages, introductory pages and advertiser/sponsor pages is 60-pound text, the highest quality in the personalized cookbook industry. For best readability, we offer this paper in white (FREE) and crème (Designer Option).

Introductory & Special Pages

• Title Page
• Expression of Appreciation Page
• Picture Page
• Officers/Committee Page

These four Introductory Pages are FREE. You may design these pages as you wish to include such items as a history, poems, etc. Your introductory pages can add a lot of personality and value to your cookbook. If you would like additional Special Pages, we'll be glad to include them for an additional charge.

Index
We will automatically compile a FREE Index for you. The Index will list each recipe alphabetically, within each major section, by the first word of the recipe title. You may choose instead a numerical index (no additional charge), which lists recipes in the index in the same order they appear in the cookbook.

Reproof Option
We proofread all pages against your original recipes at no additional cost to you. However, you may choose the Reproof Designer Option so that you have a final opportunity to verify the accuracy of your recipes, contributors' names, special pages, and cover before the cookbooks are printed. Illegible handwriting, typographical errors and/or omissions on the original customer copy are common causes of errors in the printed cookbooks.

If you choose this option, we will send you proofs of your typeset pages, as well as your original recipes and special pages. Errors that the company has made will be corrected without additional cost. Customer changes will be billed at $4 to $10 per change, based upon our examination of the changes requested.

If you choose the Reproof Designer Option, any errors that are overlooked and appear in the printed book will be considered your errors. These errors may be corrected when you place a reorder, and will be charged at $4 to $10 per change.

Please note that the length of time you keep the proofs will be an important factor in the scheduled completion time of your order.
