Re: Creating print ready file never completes
Looking over the email chain, I don't see how this appears 'canned' as our support agent supplied detailed information about your file and errors we detected.
The file appears to be 8.62" x 11.25", while our Full Bleed specifications are 8.75" x 11.25". It's possible that you output the file from InDesign without allowing for bleed on the inner margins. Our printers only print in single page, not double page (spread) which accounts for the bleed requirements on all four sides.
Re: PRINTING/FULFILLMENT TIME
I gave up on contacting Support by email and gave them a call. I wasn't on hold very long. They said there were many other customers just now with printing delays this long (I was concerned that my order had been lost). We talked awhile about Lulu's printing capacity. They began having backlogs last Sept, and especially now with the Christmas rush. They said they were doing all they could to find additional printers so that such serious backlogs don't happen again, but the difficulty is finding printers who can handle large volumes of all the different products Lulu offers.

"A TCP connection, also called 3-way Handshake is achieved with SYN, SYN+ACKand ACK packets. ... The 'SYN' is the first packet sent from a client to a server; it literally asks a server to open a connection with it. If it's possible, the server will respond with an 'SYN+ACK', means “I receive your 'SYN' and I'm OK”
I had to look it up in google skoob.
ALGOL (/ˈælɡɒl, -ɡɔːl/; short for "Algorithmic Language")[1] is a family of imperative computer programming languages, originally developed in the mid-1950s, which greatly influenced many other languages and was the standard method for algorithm description used by the ACM in textbooks and academic sources for more than thirty years.[2]
Had to look up ALGOL too Kevin.
The video I understood.

Re: Creating print ready file never completes
You should hear from our support team soon, I just spoke with someone over there.
Re: Problems uploading and downloading files
You can find any file you've uploaded to your Lulu account and used in an active project under the My Files tab as well.
Re: Creating print ready file never completes
Thanks Paul, keep me posted! It needs to get out by Christmas! I've got it all uploaded and working perfectly over at Amazon direct publishing (as an emergency backup) but frankly I'll only use them as a last resort... especially as I'm planning a hardback later!Paul_Lulu said:From the case you created (on 12/8) it looks like you've only received an auto response to acknowledge the case. I see one of our support staff was working over the weekend and is already looking into the issue. While we might not be able to determine exactly the problem, we should be able to at least find some possible issues and solutions.I would strongly recommend not using a DOCX for print books.Just Kevin said:Try a docx?
Agree, Docx not really an option as this is an illustrated book created in indesign, not a word document.

Re: Help definitely needed here
Actually, Kevin, that mustache would be better described using bushy, walrus (walrus-like), enthusiastic, overgrown, monstrous, hedge-like, broom-like, enormous, or even dominant ("An enormous bushy mustache dominated his face"). Droopy has a completely different connotation imho.

Re: Help definitely needed here
One of the best I’ve run across recently was a character described as having “hair the color of spit.”
I thought about posting some examples from my own writing...not because they are necessarily exceptional but just in fairness. After all, if I am going to give advice it seems only right to show how I apply it myself. Perhaps Kevin might like to share, too.
