I just did a poetry book through Lulu and got a copy yesterday. They really put out a very nice product, but the cheapest I could offer my 81 page book was over 6 dollars. The price would add up pretty quickly beyond that.
I have sold six, though! My goal was five. 😃

Thanks! I figure if I make my goals small enough, I’ll at least get the satisfaction of accomplishing them!
