[LM_NET] TARGET: (off topic) Yearbook advice--Lulu.com?

[Rebecca Dickenson <Rebecca.Dickenson@BLOUNTK12.ORG>]

If you're lucky enough to have nothing to do with the yearbook, could you forward 
this on to your school's yearbook person? 
 
Has anyone published their school yearbook with lulu.com? 
I'm planning on doing that this year, because the price is so much better than what 
I've been able to get from the traditional publishers.  Plus, it's not really 
dependent on a ordering a particular number of books, since it's print-on-demand.  
But, I'm getting worried since I feel out on a limb here.  I wanted to seek your 
advice if your school has used them.  
 
--How long did it take you to get your yearbooks shipped once you placed your order?
--Did you try publishing in both paper and hardback?  Did it work, or was it a 
hassle?
--Did you have any trouble with print quality?  Anything I should watch out for? 
--What design program did you use to create your book? 
--Did you do orders through lulu's storefront service, or take them through the 
school?  What did parents think? 
--Did you have any trouble with lulu accepting a purchase order from your school? 
(Their website says they will accept POs on a case-by-case basis, I just wanted to 
hear from somebody who'd done it). 
--Anything else you wish you'd known about?
 
Thanks so much in advance!  I'll post a HIT if there's interest in one.
