Publish your own book ... for free
-
Hi guys, I just read an article about http://www.lulu.com/[^]. You can write your own book, ebook, ... (e. g. using MS Word) upload it, create your cover and sell it over their website. You can define your own price (they help you with a recommendation) and as soon as somebody orders the book it will be printed on demand. Wouldn't it be great to get a printed codeproject book with a selection of the best articles? Okay everybody can print it for free directly from the website, but I would buy one because I like books. Maybe some of you guys should put your heads together and think about it! Cheers! Stephan

If you get really good at it people will pay to see it but it still isn't better than sex.
On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. - Charles Babbage

Sort of a stretch making that one work.

You don't have to write it for free. What I meant is the publishing is free. You write the book (e. g. in Word), use their tools to create a printable format (I would say HiRes PDF). Lets say they get $15 for each book they print and sell (all on demand what means they only get money if they sell the book). They recommend you to set the price to $20 so you get $5 for each book they sell. You can also sell it for $50 or $100, whatever you like. Cheers! Stephan
