The lesson for writers is that no matter how short and sweet your project may be, you can’t get away from the research! 🙂
Since beginning to design autograph books last winter as an occupational therapy project, I’ve produced 20 of them! (Nineteen are now published.) I started out publishing them through CreateSpace, which will print that trim size only in black-and-white, so when I discovered that I could have them printed in color at Lulu, I’ve been revising them and publishing them there.

Createspace did my full color 50 page cartoon book several years ago. Yes color expensive, costs $10 to manufacture each paper book plus $1,500 set up charge. . So create space no longer does color ?

OK and naturally will contact createspace via my acct with them. About $10.50 to make book plus $4 amazon tack on makes costs of my cartoon book just over $15 for me to get 87 cents royalty. Nobody will pay that of course. A printer in US will set up and ISBM and manufacture for say just $6 a book, but then it’s not POD, I have to buy 100 minimum and learn to market and ship on my own. Maybe even get book manufacture in China $2 a book but then don’t have createspace and amazon doing the rest for me. I am planning a 600 cartoon book from my archives. I learned a lot from my first 100 cartoon book esp in appearance of art. I will redo and resize 600 cartoons, will take over a year and take another shot.
