Lulu.com is the place to go if you have a book you want published. It’s free to upload and design your publications, not unlike Cafepress.com, and you can host the finished books in its online store. If you have a technical book you always wanted to write but the market for it is minimal, for no setup cost you can be selling it online and shipping it worldwide.

It’s not just vanity publishing, this is personal publishing. You are the boss. But using Lulu’s connections to worldwide book sales databases, for a reasonable fee you can be on the lists at Barnes and Noble or Amazon. But for free you can sell via your own storefront on lulu.com. I’ve republished some fine out of print and public domain texts, plus my own novel. You could publish that textbook about programming you always wanted to write. Or that guide to all the best curry restaurants in Northern England. If you “have a book in you”, go to www.lulu.com to get it out.
