I've self-pubbed small works thru Lulu. I love 'um! They produce a good quality product. You'll have to do all the work yourself. Your finished book will be EXACTLY what you upload; all typos, omitted words, misplaced/missing punctuation, poor grammar, etc. Lulu offers no editing. Lulu is a printer. They do have distribution packages you can purchase in addition to having them print your book. Their prices are reasonable, as POD goes, but if you're planning to print large quantity you'll get a much better deal going through an offset printer. Their Website has complete information, tutorials, wizards, templates, and there's even a forum. You can find lots of info and guidance there. Lulu is honest and upfront about their services, and deliver on their promises. Whenever I need just a few books or manuals printed, Lulu is always my first choice. They also do e-books. I understand there's another printing service similar to Lulu located in the UK called Diggory. I've never used Diggory, so I can't comment. But I've heard some say that Diggory is better than Lulu. Perhaps you'll want to compare the two. Best wishes.
