Best Online Publisher for My New Book
Last fall, I published a limited edition landscape photo book using www.mypublisher.com, which offered great quality, reliability and turn-around.
Now I'm getting ready to publish another short-run photo book and need a vertical format plus the ability to easily mix text on the page with photos. mypublisher appears to still offer only horizonal format, asuka looks like a square format (may cost more too). Haven't research lulu yet.
I also need a publisher that offers easy layout -- I'm not a software geek! Many thanks for any experience you can share,

Sue,
I just posted on Josh's question that's related to this here:

If you don't mind sharing some of the business end we would all appreciate it. For example, is this a money maker or a marketing venture for you? Don't need to know your Adjusted Gross Income but some basics would be nice.
As for your question I can only add Aperture as another way to lay out and order books. Never used it to order, just messed around. It was easy enough. Of course only works if you are on a Mac.
Thanks,
Coby
Coby,
This is a personal project for me, as well as a marketing piece. No, one doesn't typically make money on self-published books. I'm on a PC, so Aperture isnt an option.
Hope someoone out there has used Asuka Books, which I'm considering.
