Thread: Getting the Book Printed

Hey
I see that you guys are doing an online book of LDs and i came here just too tell you that if you could get it finnished you could get them printed into hard copyed books or soft whatever ( no im not one of they advertising guys ) you could sell them on ebay and sell them on amazon etc.
Just a thought lol

There's a great online publisher that will distribute by PDF or print. I can't remember the name of it now, but Three and Four has a book published there.

We have talked about it. Two of us found lulu.com, which looked promising.

I think the initial goal would be to make the book available online for people who don't want to buy a book, for whatever reason.

Like the WikiBook, but developed by DV. As an aside: the WikiBook has both good and bad features. E.g. it has a good comprehensive survey of different techniques. On the bad side, it starts with an 8000 word "disclaimer".

I would expect people who do want to buy a book, to look at Laberge's books first. But publishing on lulu.com (for example) couldn't be easier - free, almost no setup, unless you're publishing for profit you don't even need a bank account or anything. I didn't quite believe it until I tested it with a random text file on my computer. So we wouldn't lose anything by selling it as a book even if no-one bought it :-).

Thats the website i had in mind LuLu lol .....
I have had my books printed of from there and there very good ,
But we would have too finish the book first

Sorry, thats 8000 *characters*, 1400 words. But still.

Yes, we do have a couple more chapters to write before we could publish it :-D.

Indeed.

How is the book coming so far? It seems that sugar baby has jumped ship.
