Calculate price difference after adding recipes

Our pricing calculator offers two ways to look at printing pricing.  When you first start your cookbook, you may only have a few recipes in, but want to gauge your cost.  So, in the calculator, there is a choice for “Use estimated recipe numbers below” and you can enter how many recipes you think you’ll have.  The calculator doesn’t know how long each recipe is yet (since they are not entered), so it estimates two per page.  There is an asterisk there on the cost calculator and a footnote below explaining this.  Once you get going, and have most recipes in, you want to choose (the default option) “Use your actual XX recipes on XX pages”  You may have more pages than originally estimated, which is fine, since you might have many long recipes – which increases the page count and has a direct impact on the per book price.
