I've already envisioned my next book which I'll probably get to doing 'round the end of the year. And it'll probably be another Blurb endeavor, being that they're probably the cheapest, most convenient platform available (and the one I'm most familiar with) to produce basically what is a dummy of the book that you'd really like to make.
But I also started thinking... what would it be like to make a book with really nice reproduction? What would it be like to create and be able to present, look at and enjoy a proper, "professional" caliber production? So I began to do a bit o' research to see what options, if any, are available- and there are, to be sure, quite the shitload of options... And this guy has produced a variety of informative videos presenting the strengths and options of various self publishers world wide, presenting and comparing: paper options, inks, printing quality, binding, graphics, available sizes, materials and formats etc... Not to mention pricing.
Definitely of interest whether you're considering your first book, or like moi, considering a step up somewhere along the line... (until Steidl comes knocking).
