A few of the dozens of books and publishers I have experimented with since 2002.
I'm teaching a new one-day workshop at the Los Angeles Center of Photography called: "Self Publishing Your Photo Book with Stephen Schafer" which will be an introduction to self-publishing a photo book using digital on-demand-printing. See samples from over a dozen printing firms and sample software, paper quality, inks, color and binding options. The one-day workshop is Saturday October 17th, 2015. Hope you can come!
