[DM-MUG] cookbook

[Sharalyn Pliler]

I don't have any light to shed on your Mac problems, but I am interested in your reference to your book. Any publication data and availability info to share? ISBN #? Publisher? Bookseller? --Smith 



Thank you for asking. I'm surprised to have gotten responses to this (got another privately)...I just assumed that the folks on a computer group wouldn't be interested in the details or that it would be considered off-topic, even if your advice during the long writing process was useful. The book is:

THE RELUCTANT VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK:
An Easy Introduction to Cooking without Meat, Eggs and other Once-Favorite Foods
by Sharalyn Pliler
Illustrated by Genreva Daly
Published July 6, 2009 by Authorhouse
ISBN: 978-1-4389-8519-0

The books are available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Authorhouse (look-inside coming soon) or directly through me, for $14.95 plus $3.50 shipping. It is also available as an ebook on the Authorhouse website. My under-construction website is www.freshfoodsings.com, where both the paperback and the ebook will be available sometime in the future, hopefully soon. Other bookstores will carry it but it generally takes a couple of months to get them on the shelves.

Reviewers have been very positive (although reviews are not yet posted) as it is a funny, practical and well-written book.

Thanks again for asking. Half the fun is being able to share the info with friends and to feel proud that I actually, finally, got one of my books in print. Whether it is 3rd party or self-published, is a big deal to get a book published because there is SOOOOO much work involved. But I did it because my belief that the economy is going to crash has given me the determination to do things that I might otherwise lack the courage or motivation to do. The result, even with some mistakes scattered through it, is something that has been bringing me a lot of satisfaction just because I did it. Being disabled, I did it working mostly from a hospital bed where I have my computer hooked up to a 32" TV and use a separate keyboard on my lap, and where I survived a serious computer crash in which I lost large sections of another book. (Whatever caused the crash, it was so bad that even the back up drive had to be erased. But the cookbook was okay.)  

This was probably a lot more info than you wanted, but thanks so much for asking and letting me share about my accomplishment.

When I ran a search to try to find the second copy, nothing showed up directly, but I finally found that there is a COPY of the applications folder that is inside the applications folder. I have no idea how that folder got there, but I'm assuming that is where the second copy is. I tried to put it into the trash but it says that it is locked. Can anyone tell me how to remove it?
