    Do you want to publish a book or purchase a book?

    Tell me more about what you are trying to do

    Are you trying to self publish? If that's the case, than no, there's no publisher that offers self publishing that won't ask for a form of payment.

    Smashwords will publish your ebook for free (be sure to read the set-up manual), but you have to be the main marketer to get it sold.

    Sorry for the delay on this post!

    Yes, I am looking for publishing.

    Alty, I am looking for something like lulu, or something. Also, I am not talking about ones that require payments from paypal and stuff, but I am talking about the ones that want to pay you through paypal.

    Okay thanks Wondergirl, is there any you know for paperback books, and such?

    Amazon will do a paperback, but does ask for a couple of hundred dollars for processing.

    I think all the freebie sites are e-books only. Once you want paper involved, there's a cost to pay for materials.

    There are publisher software packages that will allow you to create your own book, make a nice cover, and print it all out, so you pay for the software and the paper. Adobe's InDesign* is one such package.

    *This is what many self-publishers who charge money use to produce books.
