CreateSpace LOADS the costs on and they aren't very honest or clever about it.

Example: My first book is 775K words and their estimate based on size was
₤6.10 but at the end of the process that had become a minimum list price of ₤11.
How do you expect to sell a Paperback at Hardback prices?
I got back an email stating that was the minimum price they could make it for.

However, when I ordered a copy just for myself it was ₤6.10 plus postage.

I don't know who does their marketing but they obviously never heard of 'Less is More'.
