[Hidden-tech] online book publishers/printer

[Marcia Yudkin]

Tom,

The most cost-effective publisher in small quantities is Lightning Source, and one of the nicest things about them is that they are very well integrated with the major online bookstores.  After you upload your book and it is accepted, your book shows up for sale at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. within a week or two.  

If Lightning Source is the choice, I would strongly recommend your client work with a book designer who has worked with them before.  I had the design and troubleshooting assistance of Kitty Werner in Vermont (http://www.rsbpress.com/), and this saved me lots of hassles and frustrations.

If your client prefers the cookbook to be able to lie open on a countertop, the best way to go, however, might be Morris Press, which specializes in printing short-run cookbooks (http://www.morriscookbooks.com/).

One other short-run option I've heard high praise for is 48 Hour Books (http://www.48hrbooks.com).
