Greetings.

My Aunt has written a book and we have been trying to figure the best way to get it published. I was wondering if anyone on SF may have any advice or direction for us? I have been looking into Lulu.com since it seems to be the easiest, most direct way to get a book published nowadays. Any advice, education, or direction will be most appreciated.

Thanks much.

Beau
