I have totally been served. Diane Duane, who evidently reads her referral logs with as much care as I do, wrote me an email confirming the corrections Wheeler offered the other day to my entry about her entry:

Dear Brendan,

Thanks for the mention. :)

BTW, I’ve known about Lulu.com for a long time: I used their pricing model to come up with the range of prices mentioned. Obviously there’s nothing particularly new about the concept…except, maybe, not giving up on a situation that common publishing wisdom has routinely up until now dismissed as a lost cause. But much has changed: so we’ll see what happens.

My main point was that, for the size of book in question, POD is still kinda pricey, and I wanted to see if there was any interest among the readership before I started serious thinking / work on the project. Fortunately it looks like there’s a fair amount of interest: now all I have to do is (a) consider my schedule and (b) convince my agent. ;)

Best! D.
