OK, seems the issue is an iBooks one. Add too many items (of any level) to the toc and it's anybody's guess what the toc will actually come out looking like.

So I streamlined the toc by making everything Level 1 and folding the Recipe Finder in with the chapter title, e.g. Breakfasts (with Recipe Finder), Lunches (with Recipe Finder), and so forth. Same function, less prolix. Fits on one page, too.

I just sent this puppy live. Probably sleep better tonight.

Keep the faith, fellow adventurers!

That's a good compromise. Have you got square eyes yet? I've just done a book with 94 recipes in it and they all borrow from one another so the book links to them from the TOC and a Recipe Page and each recipe to other recipes. I even put the glossary and another chapter that lists all the ingredient items in it. So the iBook TOC can handle many items in the list without breaking.

Yes, it is a real hit and miss kind of process this epub creation... not helped by dodgy CS releases...and the lack of decent learning material out in the internets...

Welcome "wannabee" from another Australian... you'll find a heap of good information here...

You betcha' Adjust . . . I landed a job as an eBook maker. I had never made an eBook. The day before the interview I devoured as much of this site as I could and made an ePub during the interview. No one else who applied had made an eBook either but they weren't game to jump on the PC during the interview. Got the job thanks the this forum. Still learning new tricks. Mainly from this forum and members links. Worth it's weight in ePubs.
