There's a place in brooklyn that does sorta the same thing, possibly cheaper. It's an indie book store that also does publishing. I dont know that they take care of sales/shipping the books though. They might, though, they have an online store.

Check out the "Publish Yourself..." link on the right.
The thing that makes lulu.com so interesting and effective is that they only print what people order, which lowers the overall cost of making the books since they don't have to make a bunch of orders that might not get sold. I believe, and don't quote me on this, but that ends up bringing you more money in the long run. The way they say it "Lulu doesn't publish the book, you do". The good thing also, is that you sell your book online, and promote it the way you want to, which would amount to more sales.

Anyway...good luck on the new book....I'm looking to get the book you have out as soon as I get the cash.
