Re: Is this from Lulu?

Doesn't sound like us. I've never heard of Cently either, so I'd assume this is spam.

Re: Coloring book

What do you class as not a lot of pages?

Page count can be increased, though.

Do you have a Title Page?

That can be followed by a blank.

Do you have a Copyright page?

So can that.

It is also a good idea to have consecutive pages in colouring books blank also.

I would assume page count also needs to be divisible by four.

Watch what option you select in Create, because if you want an ISBN and Distribution, not all options can have them. (The ones with the tick can.)

US Letter Perfect Bound Paperback is a good size, and can have an ISBN, but you will need to get your page count to at least 32.

The paper Lulu's printers use is often thicker and whiter than is found in most mass printed books.

And oh, you can always create more art

As for the question, saddle stitch and coil binding do offer much lower page count minimums. Coil is really nice for a coloring book, so long as you don't have any spread images, since it allows the pages to lay flat.

Re: Is it possible to produce a photo book with black background instead of white?

Relocated to print.

I think the 'Modern' theme has dark backgrounds/text boxes. But if you use the templates to build a photobook, you are restricted to the designs we offer.

You can always create a book on your own with something like InDesign or Photoshop and upload the PDF for printing. That gives you complete control over the design, though of course is a fair amount more work.

How odd, this is clicked as Answered, but when one opens the thread, it is not!

Re: Which cover is best?

They are a bit too small to judge, really. I do not like the one where she has two heads though!

I am just looking at your original cover http://www.lulu.com/shop/elizabeth-keimach/the-pig-child/paperback/product-22825362.html and even with the image large it's hard to tell it's not just a normal human child.

Re: What Type and size font should be used for 6 by 9 trade paperback

Anything over 12 point will look like an elementary school primer. Fonts vary a lot in how big they look: Georgia looks huge, Arno looks wee even if both are 12 point.
To me, fonts look a lot smaller on screen than on paper. Print out a few sample pages and trim them to 6x9. Compare your sample with a few books that you think look good.

Note that point for point fonts are not exactly all the same size. Like Ron I use 12pnt Garamond, which should suit most readers.
