but whoever put them out was lazy and put all the color photos in the center of the books with page numbers to where their recipes are instead of putting the WITH the recipes.

This is shocking and shows lack of professionalism. Looks like the editor has never used a cookbook in their life.

By the way, I save almost every packaging material I receive with my orders and reuse them, when selling something. It's a good way to recycle and stop waste. So the newspaper has also been saved and used to pack fragile items and has already been sent to someone else 😂 I hope others are doing the same and stop waste.
