Lulu! Being in the book industry, so to speak, I'm a little embarrassed that I wasn't aware of this site. I went through the "Demo" and took a good look around. I absolutely love the simplicity of the site, and if I actually followed through with creating a book or other item, it looks incredibly easy. In fact, I already have thoughts in my head of making a cookbook, or scanning all of my kids' artwork and making one book instead of having the huge piles that I have now.
It looks like the price for a paperback book is around $16.00 for a 50-page book, a hardback is $28.00, and a calendar is about $13.00. It is possible to purchase one book or purchase an ISBN so that vendors such as Amazon can sell your book.
From a library standpoint, it is good to know sites like this are available for people who want to self-publish. Also, perhaps the library's Friend's group could use Lulu to do a fundraiser by making calendars or cookbooks.
