Self Published Book

[black]

Hi,
I have a manual which I intend to print, is about 100 pages. I intend to print 50 copies initially and when these copies are sold I will then need to print additional copies based on demand.
The format will be A4
The text and cover shall be bound in paperback format, and the cover shall be full colour.

Could anyone recommend any affordable printer/ Publisher?
Regards

Black

Hi Black, welcome to the forums. Can you say what sort of manual it is?

[black]

Hi mumper, it is a computer manual ideal for beginners and intermediate users

It may be worth contacting Haynes, they are the car manual people but I believe they have branched out into computer manuals as well.
Also, try these - it might be a good place to start.

I haven't (yet), but there is a good article about it on BBC News Online if you haven't seen it yet...

Thanks Stephen, I have read the article on BBC News Online “Very “convincing I will consider Lulu, but might have to shop around a bit more

I've heard very good things about Lulu, and am considering using them for an ebook I'm writing, so it would be really interesting to hear how you get on.

I've worked with one of their authors on copyediting, and she had no complaints as far as I know.
