question about lulu distribution [ Edited ]

[margaret fisher]

I had a question about the free extended distribution they offer here. I made a profile and prepped my book to sell directly on **Edited for content** (including accepting their isbn), and am at the point here where i need to order my proof copy of my final revision of the lulu version. My question really is...is amazon the only additional place lulu would list it if I *do* order and approve the final revision? or would it go elsewhere? I ask because there's really not much point in finishing the extra distrubution for the final revision here if I already ordered my proof copy for **Edited for content** and it'll be listed on amazon through them anyway...but if the lulu dist. includes an additional outlet the **Edited for content** won't, then I'll go ahead and order the proof copy for here too.

Global distribution is supposed to list your book on other outlets but I've yet to see the reality of that.  I'm still waiting to see a book published in July appear on B&N and a book published in August hasn't even appeared on Amazon yet.

It makes you wonder why some people even bother using Lulu at all. Oh well.

The book is published via lulu (and can be found on my spotlight)

Hi all! I am trying to have my "novel" taken off Lulu but the message I get tells me that I can only retire it - even tho the novel has not generated any revenue or any reviews/discussions even. I also found a reference to the "book" on weRead  http://weread.com/book//Dead+Strings+and+Broken+Rodents/SSBK-2749580_-9#discussions. How do I make that poor excuse for a novel to disappear from the Internet once and for all?!?!!!!!!

You can retire the project from Luu but it will stay on Amazon for ever.

As Unavailabe. Pointless but true.
