Hello Sara, We at the Waterloo, WI Historical Society did a book on "One R
oom,
One Teacher Schools In The Waterloo Area." It was a great success
as a fund
raiser! The President's husband of our Society wrote the boo
k with all of the
board members collecting photos and "remembrances" of
people in the area who
attended the schools. He gathered the info and w
rote the book and put it on
disc and took it to a local printer who did
it for cheap! Also Staples will
give you an estimate. If it is on disc
you can go back and order as many copies
as you need. If you would lik
e any other information on this project please
email me. I am the treas
urer of the Society. imashykaty@sbcglobal.net Kathy

Mike Brubaker at the Sherburne History Center in Be
cker MN did a book through
Lulu – looks very good, despite the l
ack of an index (this is a standard for
history books that should rarely
ever be left out). You may email Mike:

Subject: Self Publishin
g Example Lulu
I am interesting in hearing from anyone who has self-p
ublished a book for their
historical society. We are currently putting
together our final draft for a
book on the history of the one room schoo
ls 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 quantity
of books?
Thanks you.
