[pure-silver] Re: Self-published books

recently I made some handmade books by simply having prints bound together with a spiral binding at Kinko's. This looked really good I think.

I haven't had one done personally, but have been reading a bit about it as I want to print a perfect bound catalogue for an exhibition later this year. From a financial point of view I believe that a digital book is a better option (i.e. less expensive) for smaller runs or for one-off orders where the final number is unknown and you don't want to risk large over oredering, 
and you want to be able to produce on demand.
Larger runs are cheaper on a press. I can't remember the cut off point
(?100) but can look up later.
I do have a copy of hardback Lulu book in which I had work included and 
quality looks fair, but of course I don't know what the other originals
looked like and as they were all alt processes it isn't easy to tell.

Has anyone on the list used a self-publishing company like lulu.com
to produce a short-run book?

Were you happy with the quality of photographic reproduction?

I have always assumed that this type of service is more geared toward
quick, inexpensive books, rather than quality reproduction.
