Love this site!  It will help me greatly in finding unique recipes for my clients.  However, I'm wondering why the recipes don't have the page numbers of the book they are in?  Will this be a feature in the future?


Thanks!

Different editions of the same book have different page numbers, so what's useful for one edition is useless for the next. And EYB doesn't want to index all editions of one book separately. (Thank heavens, or they'd never finish.)

Nevertheless, some books such as the Joy of Cooking can be totally different from one edition to the next. I have three, all different. one from the 60s, one 70s and the most recent.


And the New York Times Cookbook, is quite different from the New York Times Cookbook - Revised, with recipes being both added and deleted.


I can't speak to any others, as the only other book we have two editions of is Julia Child et al Mastering the Art, and those seem to be very close.

Oh, for sure -- I didn't mean that all editions of any book are necessarily the same, only that when they are the same, the page numbers can still be different.

Yes, it doesn't take much to foul up pagination on texts that are essentially the same.
