This info was posted in "The Cookbooks are Done" thread, but we wanted to make sure the info didn't get lost in the feedback for the book....so here is information we posted last week (updated slightly to include information about the second printing):
Now three weeks have elapsed since the original “Cookbooks Available” story first appeared here. 250 hardcopy Foodscape cookbooks were printed to satisfy Scaper demand. We were wrong about the demand (just like Spielberg). Within these two weeks, all 250 books had been earmarked for orders and they have now all shipped! Scapers rock!
The FWA has graciously agreed to fund the printing of another 250 books, we downgraded that number to 124 to see how demand continued. These books are currently shipping.
We apologize for any delay you are experiencing, but demand has simply outstripped supply and we’re running to keep up. (But that’s a good thing, right?!)
Just what has the Scaper community accomplished with this project? Here are the details so far for the first printing (remember, we’re still “in process”):
Donations from Convention: $516
Donation from Webpage*: $2659
Total Donations: $3175
*(Includes 167 books, 17 CDs and 13 Downloads)
Original Printing Cost: $1286.27
Shipping Costs**: $420.00
Total Cost: $1706.27
** Includes shipping materials, priority shipping (global/domestic) and regular mail
Net Donations after costs for the first printing: $3175 – $1706.27 = $1468.73
The 250 cookbooks break down this way:
Webpage Shipments: 167
Burbank Convention: 40
Given to Cast: 10
Given to Guerilla Radio Program: 20
Edited to add:We're also shipping 50 CDs to the GRP, the materials for the CDs are donated and don't affect cost or net donations
This leaves 13 books unaccounted for: 2 for “name the cookbook” winners, 5 left to be distributed to cast, a book with the Save Farscape Traveling Convention Kit and a few books that were shipped not yet included in the totals (the work-in-process stuff).
Cast members that have already been given or sent books: David Kemper, Ricky Manning, Ben (2 – Claudia has one for him and one is going in his birthday box), Claudia, Raelee, Lani, Gigi (this one is still to be shipped), Virginia and Anthony.
Cast we’re still working on: David Franklin, Paul Goddard, Melissa Jaffer, Tammy McIntosh and Jonathan Hardy.
Pretty cool, eh? The project has given away 37 of 250 cookbooks (to cast and cause) and still had a respectable amount leftover for the Beyond Hope Fund.
From the second printing of 124, there are just about 70 left. There is still time left to get yours, but remember we'll have to stop printing sometime. ;) So check it out at:
