Right now we're using Lulu, which is similar, I think. Our bookstore 
manager did know Lulu. I know someone else who has used CreateSpace and 
recommends it, but I have an aversion to helping Amazon get any richer. :-)

That's a good point.

I will keep that in mind; thank you. My institution probably has some 
information on that; we haven't gotten much past actually finishing the 
text right now.

I remember looking at MathBook XML and deciding for some reason not to 
pursue it at the time, but I don't remember why & in any case I think it 
was a temporary thing. It's not something I can feasibly do right now 
anyway, but I'll keep it in mind for the future.
