I agree that "on demand publishing" outfits such as CreateSpace are not publishers so much as distributors. That is, they contract for the production, and take care of distribution of the item, but not the selecting, editing, or proofing of the text.
It is essentially a self-published work, so I would record: 264 x1 $a [Place of publication not identified] : $b [William M. Kirtley], $c [2012] 264 x4 $c (c)2012 (If you can find out where Mr Kirtley lives, you could supply it; if you have a good guess you could supply it as probable; or if you know at least that he lives in America, then 264 $a [United States] -- see RDA 2.8.2.6.) You could add: 264 x2 $a North Charleston, SC : $b CreateSpace, $c [2012] 264 x3 $a San Bernadino, CA : $b [manufacturer not identified], 2013 But it's not necessary (see RDA 2.9--"Place of distribution is a core element for a resource in a published form if the place of publication is not identified..." etc., and likewise RDA 2.10.) And the date of manufacture will change as the years go by (remember, on-demand publications don't have print runs, they are one-off's) so I would probably leave it out.
