Please help. I need your opinions and advice.

Hi Mary,

I just thought of something else....

One thing I have noticed is that people will often pay MORE for the SAME INFORMATION in a DIFFERENT FORMAT....

For example, information in a book might fetch one price. But if it's on an audio tape, the price people will pay could be higher, and if it's on an audio CD, the price could be even higher still....

Anyhow, I was searching through the "cookbooks" on eBay, after reading your post, to get an idea of what kind of prices cookbooks were selling at there.... The prices seemed to be generally quite low.

However, I noticed that recipes in collections of "recipe cards" seemed to attract higher prices than straight-out cookbooks did (especially if the recipe cards were in an attractive wooden box). So this is something which you might want to investigate further.... You might have more success, possibly, selling your recipes in recipe card format, than in a straight-out cookbook. It's something to test....

However, as I said, I don't know much about cooking and cookbooks (though I'd like to learn more). Hopefully, others here will have some further insights....
