They want those blank pages eliminated to lower the cost of printing.<br \/><br \/>In publishing, especially cookbook publishing, a cookbook needs to be laid out in a specific way in order for the most important pages to be on the right side when the book is opened. Think about it, Whenever you open a book, the title page is the first thing you see and it is always on the right page of a two page spread. Same goes for the Introduction, Table of Contents and the section dividers.<br \/><br \/>On <a href=\"http:\/\/www.familycookbookproject.com\/\">FamilyCookbookProject.com<\/a>, if you create a preview cookbook PDF, you want to open it in your Adobe Reader program and select the option to view  \"Facing Pages\" or \"Double-up\" (look under the View menu), you'll see how the pages back up to each other. <br \/><br \/>Now with that said, there is no reason why those pages have to be blank. The inside front cover can have a family photo photo or bio of the cookbook editor. The same goes for other blank pages as well. If your introduction is one page and after it is a blank page, consider writing more, adding a photo or even making the text larger to fill up that extra space.<br \/><br \/>One benefit form using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.familycookbookproject.com\/\">FamilyCookbookProject.com<\/a> is that we provide a complete set of handy kitchen information that can be used on the back of the recipe category dividers with the touch of a button.<br \/><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;<\/pre>\n<pre wrap=\"\">&nbsp;<\/pre>\n<pre wrap=\"\">&nbsp;<\/pre>\n<pre wrap=\"\">&nbsp;<\/pre>\n<p><i>Bill Rice <\/i><i><i>takes more than 20,000 photos a year and <\/i>is Co-Publisher of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.familycookbookproject.com\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_term=Frozen&amp;utm_campaign=Cookbook\">Great Family Cookbook Project<\/a>, a website that helps families and individuals collect and share food memories.
