Possibly. Though I seem to remember a discussion about this and most everything counted, accept romances. I would consider most cookbooks to be educational. jmo

Just speculating here, but I wonder if cookbooks fall outside of the focus of the grants, so their priority in getting scanned by outsourcers or bookshare would be low. No idea if that's the case, though, just wondering out loud.

I was sure at one point we were told the whole purpose of the outsourcers was that they could work on books that were more complicated than volunteers were willing to or could handle. Cookbooks seem to fit that bill. Of course that was pre-grant so maybe their focus now is just getting a mass quantity of books that meet the grant conditions into the collection.

I agree that cookbooks do take a long time and it's not an easy thing to do, even with sight. After a while all of those fractions look the same when you've seen hundreds of them.
