My mate used them to get our book out. They did a good job, but it can be a faff trying to communicate with them as they tend to do it all by e-mail.

Cool, thanks, so I just need to produce the document and pdf it and then a wizard does the rest? How does it work cost/price-wise? It said you can set whatever cost you like, and they take 80%.... but presume there is a minimum?

(What was the book if you don't mind me asking?)

Nothing to shout about.

Can you recommend better?

Ah cool yeah yours is a good quality. That's a bit annoying... but hopefully it won't be too much hassle.
See my questions to Osy.... and also did you get a load of 'hard' copies to sell too? Or done it all online?

I think it was about £300. My mate had an arrangement with them where he could get the books a bit cheaper, but I think he was 'given' one copy by them. Sorry I can't answer the question about the pdf/wizard stuff - that's beyond my computing range. I just write the stories!

No of course I can't.... I was remarking on the tenuous link between Lulu and one of her biggest hits!
