Hello! My book is with the editor and while I wait, I'm thinking about the blurb, and formatting for print, ebook etc. This brought up a question--which company to use for the print version of my book.
I have read (probably here) that CreateSpace costs less than Lulu (that could be good--saving money, or bad--lower quality). I also read that Lightening Source is trickier to use (there's no 'hand-holding'). I think I could figure it out, but there would likely be some hair pulling involved.
I realize that trade publishing has the best quality, but that isn't an option right now.
So I would love your opinions. If you have seen books from different companies that would be great, but I would also be interested to know whom you used and if you were pleased with the quality (or not.) Any and all advice appreciated!
