Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I agree with you wholeheartedly, Gayle. Many authors and book publishers do use sample recipes to promote their books, but that should be their decision, not mine. I guess it's the same as exchanging songs on the internet, some people don't see the problem with it but the artists and music companies get very upset about it. I've had some of my own writing used without my permission and without credit and I found it upsetting, so I empathize with a new author whose trying to sell her books to a very limited audience. And, Donna, this group is called Vegan Crockpot Cooking, not Vegan Crockpot Recipes, so bite me. Cheers, Don , <quintmom@n...> wrote: > Why wouldn't it be right, Don? We post recipes here all the time from cookbooks. Nothing wrong with that as long as we credit the author and cookbook. Actually, posting a recipe or two from a new cookbook could boost the sale of that cookbook if the people who read it and try it like it - they might decide they have to have that cookbook and then buy it. Many authors of cookbooks do just that on different websites and printed mediums (Amazon being one of them) in order to drum up interest in the cookbook. > > God's Peace, > Gayle > - > Donna > > Thursday, March 31, 2005 10:17 PM > Re: Re: new vegan slow cooker cookbook Don > > > isn't this about sharing recipes?
