Maybe OT -- Does anyone have recent experience with POD publishers?
Need to publish a children's book with illustrations. ;- ) I've been happily using Lightning Source for print on demand commercial books, but they won't/can't do landscape formats. So I'm looking at Lulu, but remembering that 5 years or so ago, when I evaluated them for documentation POD, the samples weren't good. Any recent feedback from anyone? Thanks, Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com ... In my opinion, there's nothing in this world beats a '52 Vincent and a redheaded girl. -- Richard Thompson No disclaimers apply.

Art, I've been publishing a cookbook via Amazon's Createspace.com POD and also via Kindle for a couple years and it has been a good experience. They take less of a cut per sale and give you great exposure. I actually set it up first for Kindle, and Createspace.com came along for the ride sort of automatically. If you want spiral binding, then I've been using CafePress.com for the same book. I don't know anything about their requirements re landscape format.

You might try Mimeo.com. We used them a few years ago and they did landscape, saddle stitching, and spiral bound. It was a few years ago, but the quality was good.

Is my beloved tool withering on the vine?
If that were true, more people would be doing it. In many contexts, the costs outweigh the benefits. On Sun, Nov 24, 2013 at 9:15 PM, Matt Sullivan wrote: > > Standardization inevitably leads to structured authoring, DITA or another > model.
