Since many have said that recipes are difficult to collect, and the book sales fall flat, and you always end up with leftovers, maybe you should try a pre-made cookbook made specifically for fundraising.
We sold the products below at our holiday fair and did very well. kids as well as teachers and parents bought several of each....
check out
www.schoolmate.com
and look under fundraising and then " gourmet mini cookbooks". They have LOTS of cute titles like: " busy mom's cookbook" " gifts from the kitchen" etc..
The books are hardcover, spiral bound, have an easel back for standing and are 4.5 x 6 in measurement
They sell the cookbooks for $2.50, and you sell for whatever you want- $5.00 is suggested. They come nicely wrapped in cellophane and the covers are sturdy, and well made. It is a great value, and they are timeless. ( Unlike school cookbooks, when the family moves on from the school, no one cares about the families' recipes from 3 years ago)
our best sellers from that CO were:
Busy Mom's Cookbook
Gifts from the Kitchen
Keepsake Holiday Recipes
Crockery Cooking
good luck!
