379690 Book research project

A little bit of background information. At the moment I am nearing the completion of a book that I have been writing for the last few months. I am hoping to have it finished by early January. At that point I then want to self publish. Therefore I would like your help in sourcing an appropriate self publishing company. I am looking for a company where I can have books printed to order as I require at a very good cost and a simple easy to understand process. Because I live in the United Kingdom it might make sense to use a UK-based firm. Although I am not necessarily attached to this. I would therefore like you to research the market and prepare for me a table/spreadsheet   Showing a number of various companies and the costs and processes involved in dealing with all of them. Here are three that come to mind immediately that I have heard about   1) Lulu   [login to view URL] 2) EcademyPress  [login to view URL] 3) [login to view URL]   I am sure there are many others as well. Having done this sort of work myself in the past I don't expect it will take much more than five hours I want you to provide me with all of the information that I will need in order to help me come to a decision regarding which company to choose. • Therefore I will need a very detailed clear and concise spreadsheet giving me all of the details of each company. • The costs involved • Shipping and delivery details • Printing details • Information on printing to order • An overview of the process regarding getting a book published • And all other relevant information that I would require Payment will be made only by Escrow. 50% will be paid into escarole on acceptance of bid The remaining 50% will be paid into escarole on the completion of the successful project I will want to see details of previous research projects you have done     Gerard
