A created for me a table with all trim sizes from lulu (Lulu classic and Lulu Xpress). Maybe it's helpfull for some others? You need a programm that can open spreadsheets (e.g. Calc, Gnumeric, Numbers, Lotus 1 2 3, Excel). Lulu_Formate.ods (16.7 KB) |

Thanks Benziger I downloaded a programme so I was able to open your very useful document.

I am not really happy with the formats offered by Lulu. That is: The formats are OK, but they lack landscape formats and small formats. Lulu has known that for years. So I'll take the liberty of listing a few more formats here: At press.barnesandnoble.com are some sizes more than at Lulu. The interesting point is: All starting from 18 pages only. Own ISBN possible, but only selling on BN website or bookshop. At www.thegamecrafter.com/publish/pricing#booklets are some very small trim sizes. The idea is actually to publish a board game or a card game, with a box, little man, dice, etc. But since it is a modular system, you can also publish a booklet as "the instructions". Only for small projects with max. 20 or 40 pages. No ISBN. I like best https:www.epubli.de when it comes to formats. The service also delivers a deposit copy to the National Library. And sold via Amazon and the German book shops. But only with epubli-ISBN. And as the Muhlenberg legend is only a legend, the Americans will have some trouble to understand the site. A wide range at kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G201834180#trim but very few landscape and squares as well. Any other ideas where there are mainly smaller squares and more landscape formats? Preferably with your own ISBN and distribution not only through the website of the service. |

The link to The Game Crafter is pretty cool! I think I may have to create a Velda board game!
[Later] Amazing! I could create a one-shot board game with a box, play money and plastic game figures for only $32!

Try Kickstarter Ron. One of my sons puts his money in to many boardgame concepts on there.
