If I compare the status of three of my books : A)  B)  C)  I notice that (B) is treated as private (like C) although it is being distributed, while I put it up for sale both in the Lulu bookstore and through distributors. |

During the creation process, did you choose Global Dist? I had the same problem with my last book. They said I'd checked on private. Actually private is chosen automatically. You have to change that setting yourself. I thought the setting was at the end of the wizard but it's actually in the middle near the bottom of the page. I had missed it. And I too had chosen the Lulu/Global setting. But then you have to check also the other setting to take it off private. Not sure if that is your problem here or not. I'm still waiting five weeks for Lulu to get my books back on Scribd and Kobos. Still missing, still losing money...Sigh But again there are two settings now and not just one.

After reading your answer, I checked the status of my book A Grammatical Pandect of Written Tagalog.  During the first stage, I had clicked both its sale by the Lulu bookstore and local distribution.  Then, as you said, later in the process, there is another stage during which the author has to repeat his choices. I had forgotten to click on "Lulu bookstore" (red arrow). I have just done it. Let's hope this will solve the problem. |

Thanks to your guidance, JesusNinja, things are now corrected. This morning (2020-11-23), I checked the new status of my book.  Then I entered the Lulu bookstore, and just by entering "pandect", my book was displayed.  |
