After doing some price comparison and reading up on the best Print On Demand (POD) options available, I’ve decided to go with Blurb.com to publish the book version of my Month Without Monsanto blog. (For more info on why I’m doing this read my post from October 15 2010.)
So far I’ve downloaded their design template, dropped a few photos onto my soon to be front cover and begin cutting and pasting my posts from the blog onto the pages of the soon to be book. The most time intensive work is the formatting. If it were one long document (like say the text of a novel or something) I’d be ready to publish by now. It really is super easy.
One thing I did underestimate is my page count. I guess my posts were a little longer than I realized, so I’m looking at a total page count of easily over 120. This increases the cost a little, but it’s still very affordable, particularly given that they’re having a 25% off sale on orders placed before November 2.
So I’m off on my POD adventure. Stay tuned to hear more about how it unfolds.
