Henry - my belated kudos as well - I got my copies on Saturday. It looks great. The end result was quite good and fairly priced but the Lulu service was a little flaky: I got three e-mails from them - one each on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday - telling me that my order had just shipped. The latter two had those days' dates but the first one told me it had been shipped on "31 December 1969" - which looks like Unix time 0.
The other thing is that I was happy to be offered a US Postal Service shipping option - too many on-line businesses disdain this but it's cheaper and much more convenient for me than the private shippers as the USPS will hold it for me in the post office across the street, instead of some place far downtown, if they can't deliver it during the work-week. I look forward to settling down with the book one evening soon.
