POD Company feedback?

Posted 7th March 2010 at 09:00 PM by meredithgreene (Belator Books Blog)

I am compiling a comparison article for my weekly column Greene Ink on POD self-publishing companies. Wanting to write a more rounded piece I am seeking a bit o' feedback from those who have actually had personal experiences with using/dealing with said companies. We've only had dealing with two companies, Authorcrossing and Lulu, but the more info we get, the merrier.
