The Dave Chapelle parody was offensive. I realize print shops can be a real test of patience when dealing with them, but there ARE good print shops out there. Just don't deal with the jerks of the printing world! The parody should be eliminated from your website. It is crude and doesn't fit with your nice website. Even with the offensive words bleeped out, it is offensive! By the way, I just ordered your software and look forward to creating my cookbook of treasured recipes. Right now all my recipes are in two bulging zip lock bags. They are a lifetime of colleting the very best from friends and family and deserve to be published. Thanks. I agree with Carla.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Honestly, I don't know what your budget is, so I just can't tell you whether it's expensive or not. I can tell you that our software is under $40 (a new copy of Microsoft Word is $100.99.) I can also tell you that I know people who've taken their cookbook to Staples and had a simple black-and-white cookbook printed and bound for under $4.00. A lot of our success has come from helping people make affordable cookbooks, and I hope we can help you too. Best wishes (and I honestly believe better times than we can imagine are ahead), Matilda Hi, Dessie-

If so, I'm sorry it offended you. It's a bit more coarse than I generally like, but it so perfectly captured how bad the service at copy shops can occasionally be. I weighed it's language against its overall message (copy shop people can be rude) and I thought it was still worth posting. I'm sorry it offended you. Best Matilda Carla-

However, the Myspace entries I saw today on your website were not something I want to support. How is your business connected with those commentaries? Do you think it is "good business" to include vulgarity on an otherwise pleasant website? I await your response.

I just purchased your software and my question is this: How on earth do I find a customizable ring binder for the 1/2 sheet format I intend to use? My vision is to have a cookbook that looks like my (very) old BHG cookbook. The standard fare offered by my local office supply stores are just not up to my ideals...any ideas?
