Lemurion: Believe it or not, there are a bunch of people out there who are figuring out how to do POD runs at half the cost of traditional printing by using some of the same tricks that the big printers use, only amped up in certain areas. I think one of them is looking at getting the "per book" cost of POD down to like $2.50 a copy for a standard 250 page 6x9 novel. My best price for full print runs of no less than 5000 at that size is about $3.
