This NYT article covers a few other self-publishing outfits I haven’t come across before. Blurb is one in particular I’d keep an eye on. They also have an interesting product that can turn a blog into a book. I’m curious to test the usability of a finished product on the blog-to-book conversion.

Hi John. I hope you'll come back and tell us about the experience. I'd like to know whether Blurb works as advertised.

I'd be interested in your experiences as well. From what I saw, blurb print prices are extremely high, but they sure do make the process easy.
