Jennie and publish our own books. We have them printed in Hong Kong.
Publishing books yourself is quite easy. And when you sell them, you keep
"all" of the profit, rather than a measley 5%. And if you want to reprint,
you can. If a publisher doesn't want to reprint, they don't have to no
matter how good the book is.

Get Dan Poynters "Self Publishing Manual" which is absolutely the best self
publishing book ever printed. Get it, read it, and follow it word for word.
If you want to print off shore, let me know.
