Cookbook Question

I have a cookbook question for anybody interested.  I have another 450 plus recipes that I that perfected, organized, and gotten ready to be published.  I don't want to make the investment unless I feel that I can sell them (you know how things are now with the economy).  My question..... do you think it would be worth it?  I sold 1000 copies of the first one...and am not sure about publishing the second...  I need your advice!!!!  THANKS!!!!!!

Go for it!

You seem very sucessful with the cookbook.  I did buy it about two years ago but was unable to use most of the recipes because the food is geared more for the RNY patient than a lapband person.  At the time I didn't know their was a difference.  Lapband cannot eat the amount of fat that RNY people do.  Diane

Dan,

I am not one to poo-poo anyone's aspirations and I think it's great for anybody to take the time and effort needed to publish any kind of book!  I would have to say that if you think you can publish the book and either break even or make some kind of profit definitely go for it; even if just for the fact it would help someone.  Unfortunately, the internet is a great source for all kinds of recipes and I don't know how book sales are going.  HOWEVER, I DO know that more and more people ARE eating at home (and more and more are having wls) so it COULD be a GOOD thing for someone working on a cookbook.  Do you have a publisher who could give you some idea as to whether this is a good time to publish?
