You do not need a BPH to do any of that now. plib is correct when he states that even so called "popular" authors do not need the BPH's either.

But many customers - myself included - prefer to buy from traditional publishers because it's a reasonable assurance of reasonable quality standards (I'm sure there are exceptions to that). A traditional publisher isn't going to invest money in publishing a book unless they think it will show a profit. I'm sorry to say this but they few independently-published books I've looked at have not been up to professional standards.
Price is not a consideration in book buying for me; quality is.
