FYI, Createspace used to be Booksurge. One publisher I work with worked through Booksurge and it absolutely blew. The books aren't returnable unless you pay a fee, and if books aren't returnable, say goodbye to bookstore shelves. Fight it out with the small presses, get to know publishers. Don't let Createspace and Lulu take your hardearned money. It's hard enough for small and micropress work, but when you add selfpublishing to the equation, you present a very difficult proposition for yourselves. People already assume micropress work is always self published and might refuse to review it or put you up on their site, so actual self publishing is as good a way to get exposure and generate profit as handing random people in a subway station dollar bills to go buy you lottery tickets.
