Tom, the right answer depends on many factors: whether the interior 
has color, what quality of paper, how many copies he hopes to sell 
and where, etc.

For instance, the advice you got to go with Lulu would only make 
sense if it was a 70s-style cookbook that was all or mostly text on 
plain paper, and if you were looking at extremely short runs (like 
15-20 copies). To some people short run means 2000 copies; to others, 
it means 25. I make a big part of my living helping writers become 
self-published authors. I'd be glad to give you ten minutes of 
no-cost phone consulting to get your client pointed in the right 
direction
