Hi Scott,
The book Valerie was referring to is called Christmas At Fontaine's. It will
be a while before it is completed as I am currently proofing a cookbook
which is much harder to do and takes more time than the Fontaines one!
Valerie got a print copy to look at it as I had never encountered a book
without either chapter names and/or numbers! Larry scanned it and I'll
eventually proof it! I'll let you know when it is placed in the admin queue
unless you'd like me to do something else. Thanks.

Valerie,
Please tell me the title you are working on with Susan. We would like to
have a standard example to use and this book could be it.

Thanks for this timely clarification, Scott! A book I was helping Susan with
has this issue and we needed guidance. Your recommendations sound perfectly
appropriate for everyone.
Thanks!
Valerie
