Most of my books have been published using Lulu.
Looking at the AbeBooks website, I see that one of the search options is now "Not Print on Demand". The world of publishing is changing rapidly. As a reader, I suppose I should support the option of filtering out of the search results "print on demand" books. You could say that books that are "professionally" published have been through a sort of audition and the reader can be more certain of a degree of quality in content and production. But if electronic publishing really takes off, it may be that "professional" publishersof the printed book will face such a small demand for printed books that they to will print on demand.
Something else I must explore - I have read in the past of machines that print books of your choice whilst you wait. But do they exist?
