That's great! nice work

Well done. It is always nice to know that someone appreciates what you write.

 I will most likely never again publish another book with Lulu

 

It's not Lulu's fault that you clicked that option any more than it was their fault when I clicked it. But perhaps a greater description should be given on Lulu before people click it. In fact even the name Google Book Search does not realy give a clue to what it is. I thought it just listed books with Google's searchengine in the same way I can register my own site with searchengines. I only know Google as a searchengine, and don't even use it!

I think the short answer is going to be "no."
If you purchase an ISBN through Lulu, they become the publisher of record. 
You might want to look into purchasing your own ISBN, in your own name, which would probably make what you want to do a lot easier. 

(PS: are you perhaps also confusing "printer/distributor" with "publisher"? They are not really the same thing.)

So, frankly, Gentlemen and any ladies who wandered in, I've kind of avoided commenting on the concept here for a few reasons.

One of the statements made recently touched on a reason why I would be dis-inclined to join such a cartel: What if we cannot sincerely praise a work? I can think of a few examples, and I'm sure you can as well.

In one case, the gentleman writes very well; exceptionally well. But I cannot in good conscience endorse his content. In most cases, the writers write exceptionally poorly -- and I'm sure that some of you can name some names, if pressed. And let me say that no one whom I know to be active in this thread fits either of those cases.

Vetting and review is only useful if it is sincere and honest, and it is only valuable if it bars lesser works based solely on quality and not on content. For example, and excuse me for naming a name, but if Seamus, an excellent writer, were to compose a book on the Mysteries of Magnet Motors, I could not in good conscience endorse such a book on the one hand (because magnet motors are voodoo pseudoscience) nor could I tell everyone not to read the book, because I believe that ideas should be available, and should stand or fall on their own merits. So I would be stuck.

Hopefully Seamus will not write a magnet motor book, but instead a book of pure fiction, perhaps another caper of some sort, and that book I could heartily endorse (If you haven't read  POW, I recommend it heartily).

But you see my point: I'd be stuck.

So such an arrangement of reviews -- or curation, if you prefer -- would need to have caveats. For example, if someone were to submit a book to me that left me stuck, it would need to be understood that "I'm sorry but I cannot endorse this" would be a perfectly acceptable reply that fully abates the onus on the reviewer. No pushing, no pulling, no demanding an explanation: The reviewer read the book and declined to comment, no further explanation needed.

On the other hand, if the reviewer were able and willing, then the author would have imprimus to use the reviews for marketing as appropriate:

"Lamentable Dreck,"  -- Og Keep, author of _Caveman Apologetics_
"Are you kidding me?" -- Cliff Robison, author of _A Trufflesome Murder_
"Eh, it was okay." -- Fluella Mae Flunkenbush, author of _How to Marinate a Ham Sandwich_

-etc.

With such caveats and understandings -- that silence, or even a negative review, are no grounds for recriminations against the reviewer, and that the author is permitted to honestly quote the review, with a citation style to be mutually agreed upon -- then it might work. But only if everyone has thick skin. We're talking pachyderms, folks.
