Mike Brubaker at the Sherburne History Center in Becker MN did a book throu
gh Lulu - looks very good, despite the lack of an index (this is a standard
for history books that should rarely ever be left out). You may email Mike

Subject: Self Publishing Example Lulu
I am interesting in hearing from anyone who has self-published a book for t
heir historical society. We are currently putting together our final draft
for a book on the history of the one room schools in Taylor County that we
are interested in self publishing.
Has your organization done this?
Did you use Lulu or another of the online publishers?
Where you happy with the quality of the book?
Was it easy to use their service?
Was it more cost effective to self publish so you could order a smaller qua
ntity of books?
Thanks you.
