I wasn't interested in deducting anything from my taxes. I suppose
if anyone else was, they could have, the donation part of the cookbook
price was posted at some point.

Everything involved with the cookbook was handled out of
that account. I paid for the books and reimbursed the mailers
for their expenses. Don't think there were any other expenses
involved. (Whoever) will probably want to get a PO box, I
know I didn't want my home address plastered all over. I
didn't charge for that, but that is a genuine expense, still all
just piddly stuff.

What was left over after the dust settledwent to the charity and,
for all I know, there is still a copy on Barb's website.

You can email me with any questions you have, any time.
