Ok guys, I was just checking with Lulu and Blurb about some Print-on-Demand stuff and here's what I've found.
Books will be $35 bucks if I don't raise the price in order to get anything to go to the charity. That's just the cost to get them done.
That's about $10-15 more than I wanted to offer it but when you get above 20 pages it just costs more. I'm looking at alternatives like a presentation perfect bound book, for some reason that's less, but I'm also considering doing two prints a page in landscape format to reduce page count.
I haven't checked Ka-Blam but I don't think this is something they'd do.
Amazon's Booksurge seems to have a lot of negative remarks about it, and also I don't think it's right for this. I don't want to have to order 1500 copies of anything myself (at something like $12,000) just to be able to get a good bulk rate so that I can then sell them on my own (on a site that has no e-commerce solution yet.)
So...just a word to all the folks here wanting to support the cause by buying a copy of the book, it looks like it'll end up being about $40. If I find a better way to do it, great, if not I hope you'll understand. Having not done this before I'm confident I'm not finding a loophole in the vanity print-on-demand world.
That's all for now.

well, i think $40 are okay for this artwork. i´m going to get a copy if it will be available as a print-on-demand book.
Actually, I think I can get it for around $20 if I do it as a comic book. Don't know why photo book and comic book are that much different, but whatever brings cost down. Plus, most of these folks are comics book artists.
