To turn a text manuscript into a regular book, either softcover or hard, I recommend Lulu. My advice is slightly complicated, because the success of book making and book publishing pivots around your aims. Having tried most of the services available and created dozens of books, I’m ready to recommend the best services to use. I’ve also made text only books which appear to be store-bought trade paperbacks or hardcover books from the bookstore. Several of the photo books I’ve made look like coffee-table artworks, and cost about the same, yet I can produce them one by one on demand. I’ve shown these finished books around to many people, including those in the New York publishing industry and media, and everyone has agreed the quality is first class. For the past two years I’ve been producing high-quality books in very small quantities using several different services. However, being able to print as few as one copy - instead of a minimum of a thousand - shifts the economics of bookmaking toward individuals with more passion than money.
In fact, some of the books you buy on Amazon are manufactured with this same technology. These printed-on-demand books are indistinguishable from commercially printed books. New technologies permit anyone to print one copy of a softcover or hardcover book, including all-color photo books. Personal book making entails printing high-quality books in very small quantities, including quantities of one. As commercial book publishing crashes, personal book publishing is booming.
