(After I checked and found that the Web address was correct, Durant Schoon
gave me permission to post this to SL4.)
My initial reaction was that this was exactly what I was looking for -
print-on-demand, and xlibris takes care of the ordering. However, as far
as I can tell the price of one paperback is $14-$16, even for very small
books. That is essentially the only problem with this service, but it's a
big one. Besides, if I do put in the effort to transform FAI into book
form (including all the stuff needed to make it completely standalone),
I'd as soon go through a traditional publishing company and be a Real
Author.
