Ricki,
Do we receive a copy of the cookbook just for emailing the Ellen show (I did that weeks ago, plus twittered her) or is it a giveaway of the book after you are on the show???

Hi Christy,
When I started the campaign last year, I had planned to give everyone a copy of the book after I got asked on the show. Since I didn’t get asked on the show after a few months, I held a giveaway last year and gave out 10 books to randomly chosen people. I absolutely will still give every single person on this page a copy of the book if I ever do get onto the show, though! At this point (a year later), I am thinking it may be time to put the quest to rest. . . if I do that, I will choose another group of winners at random just so that people who tried to help out can get hold of the book.
Thank you so much for your support! I hope Ellen is listening. . . . !

Hi Caryne,
I can ship the book directly to you but there will be an extra charge for shipping since it’s so much more expensive to send to the UK than Canada or the US. If you’re interested, just email me at dietdessertdogs@gmail.com and I’ll send the rates to you. OR, you could purchase the ebook (a pdf file) that is identical to the hard copy and receive it within minutes. . . for that option, just go here.
