Lessons Learned Self-Publishing With Lulu via rw
Everyone can be an author. You just need a time-out to write, an idea about what to write, and the motivation to finish. You are not restricted to novels or non-fiction books, you can also publish calendars, photo books, even comic books (take a look at what others have done on Lulu). If you ever felt like quitting your day job to do something different, maybe this is it?

There are several book sizes available on Lulu.com but there is no great variety; I wasn’t able to choose a “typical” trade paperback size. It was either too small or a little too large (which was still OK in the end, but maybe other self-publishing services offer more sizes...). huh.

cmmt:getting an ISBN from Lulu.. Dave's also has an interesting expereince hyperorg.com/blogger/mtarchive ...:
There's lots to like about Lulu, but not their instructions for how to use an ISBN number (well, technically "number" is redundant in the phrase "ISBN number) with their Global Distribution package. The problem is that it seems like you have to submit your finished book and cover in order to get an ISBN, which means that you can't include the ISBN in your finished book and cover. funny. post includes workaround: edit finished bk to add isbn, after submitting for isbn.

cmmt fr Martin: There is something really nice about the Lulu ethos, and behind the scenes their system works well. I just wish they'd improve their user interface.
