www.blurb.com is such an exciting website! I've just overhauled the handbook for my course, "For Love or Money: A Business Handbook for Portrait Painters" , which you can see
here.
You can publish your portfolio, a gallery application,a "how-to", your family reunion, or whatever else you choose. The software download is free, and the templates are really idiot proof.

The value is tremendous, and since it's print-on-demand, there are no inventory commitments.
Look through the bookstore- there is SO much talent out there, in so many different areas,and it is a pleasure to see the creativity of so many people you'd never hear of otherwise.
Oh, and best of all - the color is FABULOUS.
