Are books published through vanity publishing sold on Amazon? (some other questions also)?
I am interested in publishing a coloring book through one of the self-publishing houses. Could I then sell it on Amazon?
Also, can anyone recommend a self-publishing house?
Does anyone have any idea about how much it would cost me to print a coloring book? Maybe 30 pages, printing on one side of the page, just black and white drawing, paperback cover, about 8.5×11.
I’m pretty sure Kinko’s could do it. Would that be cheaper or more expensive?
It’s a good thing that you asked this question because just recently the whole self-publishing/Amazon.com relationship has changed dramatically. In the near future Amazon.com will no longer sell self-published books that aren’t published with BookSurge, Amazon’s premier POD publisher.

Considering that you just want to print a relatively small black and white coloring book I would highly recommend Kinko’s. When you self-publish you have to purchase your own copies also plus you have to deal with a bunch of other unnecessary details that you could surpass by just going to Kinko’s. With self-publishing there always seems to be some unforseen hidden cost or problem. At least with Kinko’s it’s a wham-bam-thank-you-mam type of deal.
