Direct Publishing Via POD: A Primer

Via Twitter from slipdown:

Self-publishing a book: 25 things you need to know
Against the advice of my agent, I began perusing the big self-publishing companies' Web sites and evaluating what they had to offer. Then I started poking around blogs and message boards to get customer testimonials. What I found was a veritable minefield with roads that forked in every direction and very few clear answers.

What follows is a very long article dense with information.

One bit I want to emphasize:
The only giveaway that you're dealing with a self-published book would be if the cover were poorly designed -- which, unfortunately, is too often the case.

See why the cover matters?
