Self publishing seems to be the big thing these days, but after working with a publisher (Maple Street Press) on Tigers Corner 2008, there’s some things they can accomplish that a place like Lulu.com can’t. Sure, Lulu takes care of a lot of things like the ink and the print but I’ve never seen a product that was as high quality to Tigers Corner that was self published.
First off, the printing of the book is superb. The book is printed on glossy photo paper with high quality laser ink. And the quality of the pages looks like something you would see from a high end digital photo printer. I own an HP photosmart and while I thought those pictures looked sharp, it was nothing compared to the photo quality you’ll find in Tigers Corner.
Of course working with a publisher means you have to play by their rules, but there’s always a common goal. Of course the biggest goal is just getting that book to the printer.
