I seem to be waffling in my convictions On the one hand I think we
collected monies to help City Harvest and that was the intention of the
book, so it probably should still cost something. On the other hand, most
of the recipes were already posted here anyway. Anyone who cares to really
look (outside of Rusty's posts) could find them if they really wanted to.
