I really like the pure white paper. It makes most mass-printed books look old and second-hand! I assume it's pure white because it seems to be literarily sheets of printer paper, just as you would buy for home use (but bigger) rather than huge rolls. That could be one reason POD is expensive.

ref.: Where/how do I publish a story?

Whenever you publish anything through Lulu, your book (or story) gets its own page and, consequently, a URL you can pass along. For instance, this novelette I wrote has its own address http://www.lulu.com/shop/ron-miller/velda-gets-knotty/paperback/product-21889906.html

You can also create an Author Spotlight at Lulu where all of the books and stories you publish will appear together. This is probably the sort of thing you are after. For instance, this is my author spotlight http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/blackcatpress

It's a little tricky, but make sure the 'Eligible for Retail Distribution' mark appears on the first step (the one where you pick size and binding).

Then, on the title step, select the option to "Sell on..."

Once you select that and move to the next step, you'll be prompted to add an ISBN or use one of our free ones.

And yes, you can absolutely back up and change these options during creation and after you finish the book (by making a revision).

Never mind.

I'd still prefer to try one of the more compact versions rather than US trade this time.

A5 is comparatively compact, and you can get more words per page than Pocketbook, so fewer pages, making the book cheaper to create, and therefore to sell. The example I gave you was based on one of my A5s.

I admit I don't sell a lot of print books, but when Lulu offer free shipping, as they do from time to time, I alert friends to this. Would I be right in thinking that even if the pocket and A5 sizes are only printed in the US that any free shipping offer is still on?

I have no idea to be honest, I don't live in the USA! But my A5s and Pocketbooks (before I dropped that size) are printed in the UK where I live. I think it's just Standard Paperbacks and the Hardbacks that are only printed in the USA.

And yes I am in the UK (my spelling of 'colour' is a dead giveaway!)

Good point!
