Cookbooks are more popular than ever. Last year, some 60 million cookbooks were sold in North America alone. Increasingly, people are taking cookbook publishing into their own hands, giving them complete artistic and editorial control over the finished product. What’s more, self-published custom cookbooks have an impressive track record as bestsellers. The success stories are endless. Think of all those Junior League cookbooks that have sold over 100,000 copies. Or, take inspiration from the Podleski sisters who published a humorous, low-fat cookbook called Looneyspoons, which has sold more than 800,000 copies since 1996!
Any way you slice it, cookbook publishing is exciting and lucrative. And besides being a long-term, profit-generating product, custom cookbooks can pay off in other ways. A valuable public relations and advertising tool, a cookbook brings instant prestige to an organization or business—setting it a notch above the rest. Also a valuable sales and marketing tool, a cookbook can be used as a gift to reward loyal, repeat customers or attract new customers. It can even be used in conjunction with community fund-raising.
