Digital BW, The Print

Forgive me if this comes across as highjacking the thread, but I just 
want to pass on some info concerning self publishing books. I have no 
first hand knowledge of it, other than I have looked into it abit 
slightly. I did come across a few companies that do this and usually 
we are talking a limited run. There are firms that will do one to how 
ever you my want. One such online company that sounds interesting is 
Blurb. I have found a couple of articals about people that have used 
them and were satisfied. One of the articals I found had to do with 
softproofing before sending it off to be printed:

I found the artical very good and something to think about, like 
knowing what the paper is like.
I came across the artical from OutbackPhoto.com who has started 
making books of their "portfolios". Again, I found the info 
interesting as it pertains to people actally using Blurb. It explains 
their experience working with the authoring softwear(free) and the 
results they achieved.

I'm not in anyway associated with blurb or outback but thought I 
would pass on the info. I was intrigued when I first heard about 
Blurd about a year ago as I thought that it would be interesting to 
see if it would be feasable to just a few books of my own work. It 
sounds interesting and it doesn't hurt to look at the info.
