The New York Times on Self-Publishing
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.
Getting ready to use Blurb to document my trip to Spain this past year...depending on how it comes out, then I will publish my New Zealand adventures this year...
Should be fun regardless...

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.
There are many lower-cost alternatives that also "print on demand", which means they print one book at a time. So, self-publishing is a much more reasonable alternative than ever.

For me it's a toss up between lulu, blurb and schiel & denver. I'm not sure of the whole POD thing, still exploring other writers experiences before I take the plunge!
