Print-on-demand with worldwide shipping... anyone?

Okane · 10-10-2009, 05:49 AM

Hi,

I'm looking for something like kunaki.com for books.

Anyone here who can recommend a print-on-demand service with worldwide shipping?

I plan to sell a (printed) book of around 200 pages with lots of images.

Thanks,
Marc

lulu.com

..if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks.

Lulu.com looks interesting, but their prices make me wonder...

A 100 page color book costs $25.50 (production costs)... I plan to sell my book for $19.90

Are there any cheaper alternatives?

Look at LightningSource.com

I hear there are many downsides and difficulties involved in dealings with Lulu.

I think Create-Space, which is owned by Amazon, is the biggest and most well-known, and people say it's easy to use. Its attractions include having your book listed for sale on Amazon.

(There's another, slightly similar one called Author House, too, but all the recommendations I've seen from authors for this kind of service have been for Create-Space).

Create Space is my #1 pick.

Create Space is significantly cheaper than Lulu for color printing.

Thanks all for the great info!

Create Space is exactly what I've been looking for.
It's nice that they have their own community / forum to discuss with other users about the details.
