About Cookbook Specialists
A Leader Among Cookbook Publishers for Fundraising
Cookbook Specialists is a woman-owned business in Iowa. Owner Sheri Hartkemeyer and her team of six employees have a combined total of over 100 years’ experience with cookbooks for fundraisers. They have printed 10 million family cookbooks, as well as school and church cookbooks.
In 2018, Sheri expanded her business — Print Express, Miller Printerie and Brennan Printing — by acquiring G&R Publishing and General Publishing and Binding. This expanded the printing capabilities of Cookbook Specialists.
In 2021, Sheri expanded once again by purchasing Jumbo Jack’s Cookbooks. We now have our production facility and office in Independence and a branch office in Audubon, Iowa, to better serve our customers.
Today, this leader among cookbook publishers for fundraising provides customers a full range of printing services including:
