Any alternatives to LULU?

topic posted Mon, September 4, 2006 - 1:10 AM by  Unsubscribed
I tried them once and I'm very dissatisfied with the quality, speed, cost, and so on. I'd prefer not to use them again, but who else is there?

Thanks!

    You can do it yourself. It's much, much cheaper and not very difficult. You can run off the inner pages on a photocopier, then either square bind or saddle stitch them. I know lots of zinesters that put out very good work all on their own, and you can too. Takes some practice, but the cost/return is far, far better. You can even buy an ISBN/UPC to work with the cover (which will make your items available to amazon & co).

      I need to clarify. I am talking about Novels. Hardbound or paperback books of more than 300 pages.

      A zine won't cut it. I can't afford a 55,000.00 paperback press at this time, nor do I wish to become a printing company.

      There must be a 'small press' company out there which can handle the job...
