There was no single person involved in the entire process but *someone* had
to be designated to collect the funds, be it via PayPal or any other method,
and then make sure the funds were properly distributed to the designated
charity (2nd Harvest). And some people wanted to send checks, not use
PayPal or a credit card.

Then there was the figuring of postage based on how many books each person
wanted so did their check/paypal/whatever cover those costs? Was money due
for shipping or did they overpay?

The actual shipping to various parts of the country had to be parcelled out
and handled by posters in different regions. Overseas shipping factors had
to be considered. I'm still amazed, frankly, it ever got published at all.
Not saying I'm not glad it did! But still... it was a LOT of work for
everyone involved.

I wish I'd been able to do my share of the editing but once I got started on
the recipes sent to me my work schedule heated up to the point I simply
couldn't meet the deadline. I bless everyone who handled all the daunting
tasks.
