I do everything with Lulu. I write and edit my texts in two languages - French and English. I create my full covers. So far, apart from a few gitches now and there, Lulu meets my needs and is professionally highly satisfying.
It is true that lately the cost of books has risen due to various factors, and if you opt for Global Distribution, you have to accept the price suggested by Lulu otherwise Amazon will pay you no royalties. As a consequence, my books carried by Amazon are a lot more expensive than they used to.
My latest, a philosophical, utopic soft-bound 504-page novel with plenty of pornography (text, not pictures) sells for 38.18€, a price that not that many people can afford.
All this is beyond our control.

I too totally DIY. But I have also done it all professionally, not only SP, so am well practiced. Having seen many results of SPing I don't think many people have the skills. Some are also not too good at actual writing. They would benefit from professional services, but few can really afford them and the results can give SP a bad name.
