Hi Mick, regarding your book.
    You say "Measuring 8 x 8 inch so it will lay open on your kitchen worktop when you use it."

Does this mean it has a ring binder, and perhaps laminated?
Also, how many pages?
Cheers, Frank  ;)

I don't think we need to worry too much about the competition from this site, especially when they're charging

Hi Frank,
Just to let you know the story...
The PDF that I have made has sold well for over 18 months.
It was bought by the owner of a business with publishing interests.
They spoke with me with a view of redesigning and printing the PDF as a book to go with Spice kits that they would be selling.
It was to allow anyone to make BIR style food from the one package.
For every kit they sell I would get a percentage.
I can sell the book separately as I wish. I have no other involvement with their products.

The book was in A5 format and was about 75 pages, now that it has been printed in a larger size it allows the book to stay open when on the worktop. The larger size means more information per page hence less pages, now 48, which means it was of a size that suited stapling.
I don't think for one minute that some of the more advanced chefs on here will necessarily learn anything new but there are plenty of people around who aren't as good as those who look down on a little free enterprise.

Some on here may have realised that I haven't said anything about the book on cr0, out of respect to the members. I didn't want to be accused of using this site for the purpose of advertising but as it has been raised then I will speak about it when asked.

I hope that answers your question.

Cheers,
Mick

Hi Mick,
I've just seen a copy of your ebook on a friends kindle and have noticed the layout is all over the place.
i.e. titles start at the bottom of the page, 2 lines of a recipe on one page and rest on the next etc.
Changing the font size or lines per page doesn't help.

Have you or anyone else had this problem?

Cheers, Frank.
