Does anyone here know anything about self-publishing?

lulu.com is the way forward.  published my kids book "Hippy Bob & the Piano of Doom" with them and it achieved what i wanted it to.  ie, a book i can read to my kids - you can also purchase an ISBN, do calendars, paperbacks of all sizes, hardbacks - it's just a great and easy tool.  The only things is to remember to double triple quadruple proof read everything because the only way to tell if its printed correctly is to order a book.  you can also set your own pricing etc and it can give you some promotional tools like a "Buy it now" button for websites or banners etc.  you can also purchase a distribution package which i have yet to do cos i'm skint but they say that most of their stuff ends up on amazon.barnes & noble etc in about 6 weeks.
