The opening sentence of the first article, from Madison, WI, captures the essence of the article and subject itself - "If there’s a better way to remember vacations spent in faraway places than returning home with a cookbook featuring regional recipes, it is well beyond my imagination."
The article goes on to describe the writer's experience in discovering the three League community cookbooks from Panama City, FL, and her journey to a bookstore which markets them. The second article is from Austin, Texas and is headlined by "Community cookbooks as historical relics: Detailing the past, present and where our community is headed".
We all understand that the world is changing and admit that how consumers purchase their books has changed drastically over the last two years; however, that does not mean that the genre has changed or is going away. In today's world the opportunities are still there, but we need to uncover how to take advantage of them.
