I look into the account and the Sales page. It breaks out how many units have sold, time frames and the like.

If you were to publish a book for profit it also tracks your royalties. We haven't done that, but it looks like a good tool for keeping Lulu honest. Overall Lulu looks like a good partner to use for projects like this. Hey, if books are published and in people's hands next week they are great.

where do you find that page, or is it only for the editors?

The print on demand process that LULU use isn't that Unique. It would be easy to find in many places in Europe. But the simple ordering facility preview etc that Lulu uses seems very good. I havn't seen that.

It would be nice to keep a consistent format with the other books.

I haven't seen anything like Lulu here in Holland either. Here they're just printers who do small runs but still with an advance outlay of money and a minimum number of copies. The Lulul-lookalikes are mostly much more expensive and photo printeres/1-hr lab chains that dabble in this book printing industry for the sake of more customers and some extra marketshare. BTW, the real printers ALWAYS ask for details like what kind of paper you would like to have it printed on, and other such impossible to answer questions (unless you're familiar with that kind of info).

I'm indeed wondering what Socke might have to say. SOCKE?! Are you there?! :)

Yes, just came in and have to catch up on the thread :)

But from the new thread my Dokucolor NTSC (Never The Same Color) theory seems even more probable.

I've allways delivered RGB files to the printer, didn't matter which colorspace since they adjusted everything for me.

Pictures are a challenge to any laserprinter, especialy B/W and the Dokucolor is based on a color copier/laserprinter.

Now back to reading.
 
I'm really curious as to the quality of the printing from Lulu. Would be great if I could a London-based member to show me his/her copy. :) I'm a bit skint right now to order the book from the US.

Matti and RML, Lulu is something special.

I designed the firewall and internetaccess for my printer, but the upload is only for a few regular customers where the job parameters like the paper and binding etc. are established before they send the data.

It is mostly used for brochures from a travelagency and an asian food broker.

The frontend is Apache with WebDAV and the backend xinets prepress server and webnative.

You could do LuLu stuff with that, but you need a distribution infrastructure and lots of storage space as well.
 
Ok, now at 139.... I just got my books [three]

EITHER I got some good ones or I am not as discerning as others here..... :eek:

pretty sure it is number 2 ;)
 
Got both books together. I loved the tech info included with each photo in #1. Missed it a lot in #2! Very impressive effort and congrats to you Jorge.
 
I received my books (four) today and I'm, once again, impressed by the quality of this publication. A very heartfelt thanks to all---those doing all the real work-- who made this possible. Making the images seems to be the easy part---at least in comparison to assembling this issue.
Thank you all!
 
Bravo to RFF, Really.

Bravo to RFF, Really.

I finally got my copy today (seemed like it took a bit longer than I thought it should have), having nervously waited out a couple days' rain with worry over wrinkled pages and soggy images.

I'm still paging through it, and I must say I'm deeply impressed so far. Impressed, that is, as much with the efforts of our esteemed editors and other organizers as I am with the photographic (and storytelling) talents of the members of RFF. Really, thoroughly enjoyable. I love the biographical bits 'n pieces at the end, as well.

And I have to say - keeping in mind that I might not have the most discerning eye - that I find the color cast of the B&W work to be less distracting that I had originally feared. Well within what I might have imagined (although not as well as I'd have hoped) for a product of this scale and complexity, at this price.

So, thanks to all. I now have something of merit to place on my coffeetable. Move over, remotes.


Cheers,
--joe.
