I have one from them....let me look and see what it's called...Mine is called "Dining on a Dime Cookbook".
Mine is 476 pages long....surely it's not the same one you are printing? I got it from one of the book sales at the school... www.booksarefun.com they sell books locally at the schools here, or also online. anyway...I do really like the cookbook. LOTS of recipes...and for more than just food...beauty products, cleaners, etc. A lot of good info on living cheaper... I think mine is a compilation of several that they offer as e-books I think... Okay, here's the one I have... Dining ON A Dime -------------------- Hugs!

 yes debby, surely that is the book i bought as an ebook. i didn't have the patients to wait for it...and i didn't want to pay postage (thought i could print for that price) but that was before i realized it was THAT many pages. i am doing double sided tho, and hope to finish printing today.  i'll let you know what i think! but i'm thinking i WISH i had had this book when i got married...could have saved me SO much time, attitude, learning curves, etc already! i really want to order heaps and have them on hand for wedding showers i might attend in the future (church or friends). we'll see, as they are a bit pricey for me (with the dollar not being too great right now). -------------------- |

Barb, mine was $10 from the Books are Fun company...but I don't know if they still have them. I"ve printed things on that magnitude, also! LOL! And yours might not take so many pages if it's formatted different, because my book isn't 8.5 x 11...it's a little bigger than half that size.
I think you'll like it! -------------------- Hugs!

i looked at the books are fun thing, interesting! i didn't see it on their list tho. not sure how oftent hey change it up.
i found it online for 10ish dollars, but then there's shipping on it always. i don't like ordering from sites that don't take paypal, as i don't like the inconvenience of entering MC info onto sights here and tehre (for safety reasons too). i printed and hole punched it. wow...yes, the format they had was the size you suggested, the normal cookbook size. i coudn't print two pages per sheet, as it really complicated it, and made the printing too small for the most part.  i did it on 8.5x11, and put it into a regular binder. i browsed through all the extra's and tips and such. now i need to search thru the recipes. it all looks SO practical! i say grab one if you find it for a good price! SO worth it! -------------------- |

(Ok I know this is off topic. . . just wanted to say that I've gotten to where I take large print jobs to Staples- the local chain office supply store- for printing. It's so much easier and it seems like it has to be cheaper. I just had a 80+ page document printed black and white, front and back, bound with two clear covers for a little over $5. . . so now I'm really hooked.)

i used the first recipe out of this book this weekend. i thought it was good...my parents thought it was good, dh thought it was so-so...
not sure if i'll make it again, if i do, i'll alter the recipe up a bit to suit us more. can't wait to go through it more and do more stuff! i made this chicken fried steak. (just coated burgers, really, but still good!) the book had a burger recipe, which i'de use my own next time.
