When you hear of self-publishing today you mostly think of "digital"...Even though most self-publishers offer both digital and POD (print on demand).
However, Blurb, a popular self-publisher in San Francisco who delivers first-quality printed products, has set up a "pop-up" store in SoHo, New York to teach the process of developing a first-class printed book for those who want a physical product...a product allowing them to print their own books easily and relatively cheaply, without the help of a literary agent or trade publisher.
Julie Bosman, New York Times, reports:
Self-Publisher Comes to SoHo
To make a book using an online publishing service, you create the design, add text or images, pay the fee, and in a few days or a week, the finished product is delivered to your door.
But there is the nagging question: Will it look homemade?
Blurb, a popular self-publishing company based in San Francisco, has tried to assuage that fear by planting a pop-up store, its first, in the middle of SoHo in New York. It will be there until the end of the month, complete with displays of finished books created by real customers.

What a great way to overcome the objections surrounding self-publishing. Thanks for the heads-up on this new service.
