A blog with tips for self publishing a book.
Broken Kode points out three things that distinguish Lulu from CafePress for on demand self publishing:
- The creator retains the full copyright. I haven?t followed up on it but a while back CafePress was getting some bad press due to their shady copyright documentation. Lulu is very clear on this point.
- The simplest formula for the cost of the book is as follows:
Retail Price = Production cost + Royalty + Lulu Commission
- If you pay a little bit extra (depending on how much it gets put up) the book is eventually put onto the system that all distributors, online stores etc have access to and actually put into the market on offer
