I'd definitely look into Createspace. Here's a link. I know it's from their community board but it seems to cover a lot of ground. All the authors I've know who have used CS are very happy.

Kay....Yes, Yes, Yes to the 10th Power!   For people to be reticent about self publishing in this day and age is unfortunate. One last point -- although, like you said there are many more -- Publishing has made me a better writer and kept me…
