Is there anyone who could help me to produce a small book to be sold and all proceeds go to the Army for the people serving in Aghanistan.
Is there anyone who has had experince in doing this?

Thank you

Bridget

No experience BB, but I think it's a great idea!
Sure someone on here will have some ideas, maybe Ron who does the Genealogy printing?

I too have no experience but I have seen books produced for these things before, usually very simple booklets I think.

Bridget. sounds a nice idea, what sort of book are you thinking of?

Can't help as not done anything like that but I think Ros might be able to offer some advice, or if Puss is reading this, maybe she could send on some advice.

The idea is to produce a small book with all the recipes sent onto my thread Culinary Delights. No profits to be taken, simply a small book to be designed and printed, I know this will cost BUT if not too expensive I would pay for that, and then to sell them to family, friends, small evenyts etc and use the funds to send parcels out to Afghanistan.
Liz, would you be able to ask the people you mention if they can offer any advice.

Many thanks

Bridget

PS will ask Army son if there is a contact I can make to see if this would be acceptable. Will keep everyone informed. I cannot contact him for about a week.

Bridget, Ros, now called Cathkin, might see this, will email her to have a look, and I am sure if Puss is looking in she will ask someone to send a message, don't think she is a member any more.
Puss had a book printed through a company Ros told her about.

Good luck - I am off to bed in a mo but will mail Ros before I go,
night.
