We should all have that power. Maybe we need to create a crypto token for corporate mob justice? Earn tokens by joining campaigns of terror against corrupt SJW and otherwise incompetant grabbler corporations. New tokens are mined and transferred through a proof of petition function. Call it MOB. The organizer would put down a stake on the campaign from their personal MOB wallet. The bigger the stake, the more MOB each petitioner who joins the campaign will receive but also the more petitioners are required to join the campaign before the organizer makes a profit. The idea of the organizer's stake is to discourage frivolous campaigns by giving the organizer something to lose. This was a joke but now I'm scared it will happen. One of those things that could (if done right) be a tremendous force for good but you know it will be implemented in the most degenerate, communist fashion and destroy lives.

It's funny. Many, many years ago I wanted to do something like this. I was studying Latin and wanted to print very old Latin books that were only in e-book or HTML format. I had my eye on Jan Comenius' "Janua Linguarum". I knew a bit of LaTeX as well, and I actually started transcribing and correcting typos, etc. to produce a PDF and then a physical book (for personal use). But the task was way beyond me. Kudos, Luke: what you are doing is no mean task!

@@bashisobsolete.pythonismyn6321 Print on Demand is pretty specific. Basically instead of the company printing say 5,000 copies of a book and then trying to sell them all, if a customer wants to purchase a book the company will just print a single copy and send it out, doing this for ever person who wants a particular book. This is great for smaller authors who normally wouldn't be able to sell thousands of bulk copies.

@@bashisobsolete.pythonismyn6321 print on demand: each time you get an order you print the book, bulk: you print each book a certain number of time first. You keep them in storage. And send them when you get an order. The biggest difference is investment and storage. For print on demand you dont need storage as all the book you print are already sold (you expedite them as soon as they are printed) also you dont need to invest personnal money as you get the money first and then you print. Whereas for bulk you invest to print and then get the money when someone buys a book from you inventory.

No idea about the cover tho I just put title in blank white.

I see you have atlas shrugged. I'm very curious what you think about it, or Ayn Rand in general. Perhaps something for a video?

On topic but a little off topic: what's the binding like? Is it nice case binding with individual quires (I think modern publishers use a different term) that have been stitched together? Or is it a hundred+ sheets that are glued together at the edge?

Customer service is a big deal. Lulu uses a web of printers so quality control is varied per printer. Some printers know what they're doing, but unfortunately, some do not. But customer service by Lulu is the biggest problem.

serious question: in the deep south, are special measures needed to prevent books from turn mouldy?

I'm crushed. I was about to start printing on Lulu. Now I'm not. For what I do, I need better paper quality, but for just text based books, why don't you publish on KDP? Easy.

Have you looked into things other than shopify? are there alternatives compatible with lulu? Im wondering if you get same issues doing manual versus shopify. Personally I dont know much about this just trying to give ideas. Wondering if theres some wonky stuff going on with formatting reformatting like with what you mentioned having to get isbn and do through shop yada yada
