publishing a coloring book

I am interested in self publishing a coloring book. I am not an artist though. I have many ideas and will have to hire someone to do the graphics. Any suggestions on how to get started. I have searched for info on the web and cannot find anything on how to publish a coloring book. The only thing I could find was info on comic books.

My suggestion would be to go to a private printing company and ask them about the idea. Chances are they could steer you in the right direction on starting the project. As long as you can manage all your images, I'm sure that the actual printing of the book will be easy. I'm fairly certain that printing companies use computers now, so if you compile your images on a computer you could send them to the printer and have the book printed. Unless you have a private printing press, you'll have to have a small company do your printing.

I am a former graphic designer who knows a bit about commercial printing and magazine publishing. I would like to know a few things first please.

What exactly is the need or motive to self publish?
Is this going to be for sale or for private distribution only?
How big $$ do you hope this gets?
Do you know anything about printing (its okay if you don't)?
How many copies do you anticipte on the first run, or is it an only run?
