Tempted to Self Publish?

Now you can with Amazon’s Createspace.

Yes, I’ve seen Blurb, but it seemed too expensive, resulting in unrealistic retail prices if you actually want to sell some copies of the book yourself. CreateSpace seems to have a better pricing structure:
Trim Sizes
Prices & Revenue Share

Check it out, and let me know how your book turns out!

If anyone has advice on how to obtain maps for publishing, I’d like to get some books out myself.
