The book is undergoing review for printing. In anticipation of needing a rush for an NZ book signing, I contacted 48HrBooks and it may yet save the day. We have not placed our order. My primary concern is that none of the three customer reps I have emailed or talked to claim to know of Lightning Source or its cover/text formatting requirements. Today the sales rep said she had never heard of Lightning Source and reminded me that there are many small POD publishers. I had hoped to find someone with knowledge of LSI and to counsel me on any issues I might have if I use my LSI cover and text PDF files. I do not think of LSI as a wee little POD company and am surprised the 48Hr staff does not know the company. We are facing a crazy deadline for an author in New Zealand and are an LSI customer.

I tried them 2 weeks ago to get a book published for my mother's 80th birthday. She had written several books in her lifetime but never got them published. 48hr Books were GREAT! They were easy and friendly to work with and the finished product... well it was so good, my mom had tears in her eyes seeing her book was published. Thanks for your information guiding me to them. Thanks Joel.
