So I've been meaning to try self-publishing in lulu for a while, and I finally got around to do it! It's really simple, but takes some time to make everything as you want to, since most of the people aren't actually editors etc. Thankfully, a lot of important information about fonts and sizes is available in the internet.
I have to say that lulu stuff seems super friendly! Their videos are very helpful so if you are going to do it, I recommend watching them. I did this just for myself so I got the cheapest version and had to pay only for printing (150 pages for $6.50) and shipping (a little more than $7). The product was in really good condition while arriving and printing + shipping time was around 2 weeks. Pages are really nice, the paper is quite thick, even thicker than some books you can buy from bookstore. I made myself A5 format book, softcover, since A5 does not have hardcover version (yet!) and it costs a lot more. ~70 pages cost around $18. So yeah.
I'm really happy with the result!

| Motu doesn't get it - what's with the packages? |
 |
| The back of the book. Also, there are several layouts you can pick from, I don't remember for sure, but you can probably make one yourself, but it costs more. |
 |
| Cover is coloured, but pictures inside a book aren't. There is an option to make them coloured as well, though. Costs more, again. |
