As far as I know, Lulu uses Lightning Source (LSI) to print and
distribute its books. So, if you do not need the extra services that
Lulu provides, I guess it is better to go straight to LSI.

Amazon is also offering a similar service, through BookSurge (I have no
idea whether it is any good).

Thanks for the further info, lots to look into.

One of the books we are discussing as a possibility is a GPU Gems style book, you can be sure that a Lua/OpenSceneGraph chapter becons :-)
