Digital BW, The Print

So, who has a downloadable offline program that works in Linux? Anyone?
Or, better stated, who has a decent enough web interface that they
don't *need* an offline program, as much as I would rather use one?

It's been covered but I have used both blurb and lulu. lulu did a horrible job on print quality and the cover was an extremely glossy laminated stock that looked tacky, in my opinion. The 8.5 square format was also a bit too large for my work. I was also not crazy with their limited layout palette. I had to create the full pages in PS before importing them. Lastly, you have no way to edit the title page...at all. So if you choose a font for the cover and text pages inside, you are stuck with only one font on the title page.

Their print and paper quality is decent but sometimes inconsistent. Still, for the price, you can't beat it and I love the 7 x 7 format.
