Using Lulu for Self Publishing by Dan Snow

In 2013, there has NEVER been a better time to self-publish a book, whether printed or digital -- or both.
Last year, 17 of Amazon's top 100 sellers in the UK were self-published. The "Do-it-Yourself Publishing" ("DIYP") boom continues to gain momentum worldwide in 2013.
Want the latest unbiased news about DIYP? Experts explaining new technologies, the latest publicity and marketing methods, and more... plus tips and tricks from bestselling DIYP authors, live links to useful resources and freebies?
Pressed for time? Now you can get them all in a single fast and easy read, updated monthly (sometimes twice a month) for a special introductory price of just 99 cents per issue.
Just download SPM for handy reading on the Kindle, Kindle-for-iPad, Mac, PC, and a variety of tablet computers and smartphones. In today's world, the publishing industry is changing at a furious pace -- sometimes literally from one day to the next. SPM keeps you informed without endless scanning of Web sites, or sifting through zillions of offers from vendors trying to sell you goods and services you may not really need or want.

We don't favor one printer, epublishing service or bookseller over another, except in terms of how you can get optimal results.
