"This 2016 cookbook was produced as an electronic edition because that format made the most sense financially and practically: self-publishing digitally avoided shipping and distributor fees, and design costs—while real—can be managed or DIYed with tools like Canva. Though there were requests for a print edition, the author questioned the return on investment, and earlier publisher proposals felt unattractive because they required surrendering artistic control, additional photographers, or promotional burdens that undercut the appeal of self-publishing." - Nick Mancall-Bitel
