Did you even read the thread? How would any of that help him get published?
If you are intersted in self-distribution with help... Check out
www.createspace.com. It's free to register, send them a copy of your book and they'll put it for sale on Amazon for you (taking a percentage of any sales of course.) I'm in the process of putting my most recent short film on there. It should be for sale on Amazon by the end of Feb. I don't really expect anyone to purchase it (because the minimum price I can charge is $9.00 and that's with me getting 0% royalties on any sales.) but it will get me an imdb.com profile, which I think is pretty cool.
