Who would I contact to get a recipe book published, even if it's just for the family, or maybe not? ?

Question

My mom handwrote these cookbooks for us kids, not kids anymore, and it's full of family favorites, friends' recipes from over the years, even Mrs. Sees fudge, I think. (can't put that one in a public book, might get sued). But there are cute comments at the end of the recipes, specific to the person it was written for, and a couple of interesting family events or stories.

Answer 3

Kinko's or CopyKat can make copies for you and bind them into a nice book form.

Answer 4

Go to allrecipes.com and there's a link to Create a cookbook. It's a bit time consuming and you will have to transfer the info from your Mom's books but I hope the finished product will look ok. You can personalize it with images and text and you can show it to your family online and they can add their input.  

Answer 5

Look for printers in your area.

Answer 6

Go to a local print shop to start with.  Those companies that print cookbooks are good but they are best for fund raising.  If you are planning to sell it, that would be a way to go but you have to order a certain amount of copies of the book and then sell them.  I helped with publishing and selling a cook book for the music boosters club at my childrens school and we had to edit and correct and type the recipe following a certain format.  Then we sent them in and a while later the cook books arrived.  I cannot remember if you had to pay upfront but I believe you do.  Google cookbook publishing and a load of sites pop up, some for fundraising and some for personal use.
