You bet it is, and good for you for taking advantage
of it and following through. It's a lot of work.
I'd be interested to hear whether you're satisfied
with the final product (i.e., with what lulu.com does
for you). I'm a freelance editor, and sometimes my
writer clients want to explore self-publishing options,
so it would be nice to have a company to recommend (or
warn folks away from, depending!).
I very much enjoyed reading the first 11 chapters on
your Web site (which I was able to access the second
time I tried). I do have one suggestion, though: make
the margins wider so the lines of type aren't so long.
I found myself getting crosseyed after the first few
paragraphs!
Otherwise, very nicely done. Congratulations! I
hope you have a lot of success with the book.
