Okay so I'm considering doing a print version of my recent science essay book. I've had a couple of requests for it. (as well as for my poetry book) but have avoided it so far, just seems messy and expensive. I also don't really care about selling everywhere (B&N, Sony, Apple, etc). I understand that I can use the Amazon subsidiary CreateSpace to do print publication and have set up an account there, but it's looks to be a pain in the butt and I'll have to create a specially formated version of my MS-Word (which is my master doc) in order to do it. For Kindle it's no more complicated than uploading the Word file and checking it, but this CreateSpace thing has templates and margins and fonts and all kinds of krap...somewhat daunting.

Has anyone done this?

What was your experience?
