Phil - I've switched publishing from Lulu.com to blurb and have about  
2 books coming out this year.  The latest was one for my kids- they  
are in their twenties.  I have my own yearly book with my favorites  
from the past 12 months, then theres a book of poems, stories being  
written my my girlfriend, her nephew and her brother with photos by  
me.  It's a great outlet.
