ref.: How do I get a Copyright?

As that Lulu page states, once you create something in to something tangible (not just in your head in other words) then it's automatically copyrighted by some worldwide agreements. A copyright page is to name you as the copyright holder. (There are example ones on line.) However, some people do register their copyrights as a safeguard. It's particularly recommended in the USA. But do beware that there are 1000s of places on line who will take money off you to Register your copyrights, which have no actual use in law. They are worthless and pointless. This is useful info >> https://www.gov.uk/copyright

Incidentally. There are many Far Eastern countries that turn a blind eye to infringements.

ref.: Deleted ebook has not gone away

Hi JackRErnest,

It takes 3-4 weeks once the eBook has been retired for our retailers to remove the title.

ref.: I wrote some poetry...

Hi JustinCooper,

At one point we did purchase Poetry.com. However, in 2011, we relinquished our rights to the website.

Lately, it appears their site has been down. If the site comes back up, I recommend to contact their support.

Okay, the normal margin per Lulu would be 0,5 inches, with a gutter of 0.25 inches for a short book.

With a margin of 0.75 inches and 32 pages you likely don't need to worry about the gutter.

My last ARC was 128 pages with inside and outside margins set on 0.6 inches and a gutter of 0.25 inches. The gutter is more than acceptable as is.

On my 32-page 6x9 book, my margins--top, bottom, left and right are all set at .75. Confused about the gutter setting. What should that be?

ref.: When Daisies and Thunderstorms Collide by Isabel Scheck

This brings up an important point. Let's talk about it in a different thread so as not to take attention away from IsabelS's book.

It often starts even before you start writing.

ref.: Ideas!

Well, on the upside, I learned that the vote buttons weren't something I broke...on the down side, the services support team need to investigate.

So, my great idea to allow for some interaction on the Suggestions will be a few days before it actually works.

ref.: What does Lulu consider "x-rated text"?

That particular segment of the Terms & Conditions does go on to list a range of examples, but yes, "x-rated" text is necessarily vague to provide us the room we need to make judgment calls.

ref.: Converting to EPUB

We had some various issues with EPUBs yesterday as we worked on updating our validator. So the error could have been on our end.
Try the file again and if you see the TOC error, let me know and I'll ask some one on the support team to look into it for you.

ref.: ePUB Cover and Transparency

Use the second one. Most, if not all, retailers have a rectangular thumbnail. I don't know why lulu shows a square.

Just ignore the anxiety of the warped shape. Furthermore, the ebook and print book will be linked and people will know what your book really looks like.

Look up ebooks on iTunes, Barnes and Noble, kobo, Amazon. They all look normal. Even when distributed through lulu. The retailers adjust the image.
