   Where do university presses fit into this equation? Aren’t they always looking for a fitting, appropriate printing project for their own learning, and to enhance their professor’s resumes? I’ve seen several photo books by “University of _____ Press”. Always seemed like a great fit to me; win/win.

    @ 10. Tomé: I’d make a post on self published book but I don’t think theres much out there besides Blurb and http://www.my100books.com/ that’s worth looking at.

    This was incredibly helpful. Through your post, I’ve found Power House Books and just received something that looks like a favourable reply to my portfolio submission.

    Many many thanks.

    You might want to include a couple of print on demand facilities too as this is a great new way for photographers to put out quality books.

    I’m thinking of http://www.blurb.com and http://www.lulu.com as two fine examples.

    Here’s my latest at Lulu which I think is a gem,
    lulu.com/content/5162138

    Unfortunately, I have to take care of all the distribution myself.

    I’ve had some interest from publishers with this material but chose to try and do it myself to maintain complete control over edit and layout design. If you prep your files rights the results can be astonishingly good.

    Thanks for your time.
