Which is the best "high quality" self publishing company?

The three best places I have seen so far. www.asukabooks.com www.mypublisher.com www.mpix.com Asuka is very expensive, mypublisher and mpix are moderately priced. Mypublisher has more options for covers than MPIX, but their quality is about the the same as far as the pages inside.

You could try search engines by typing in 'local book printers'. I know that this isn't being of much help, but many people see self-publishing and POD vanity-press as being one and the same. Some will lambaste you for even *thinking* of this--even though your chances of getting in traditionally is about the same odds as winning your local state lottery on a $1 ticket alone. They'll saddle you with a spreadsheet of facts and figures designed to deter you from attempting other avenues. (Because--in their minds--TRADITIONAL publishing is the only way you can gain acceptance with your peers, even though other writers have long since given up on that ideal; citing a tight publishing market, a shrinking publishing base, a closed door policy on new writers and authors, and the fact that e-publishing, self-publishing, and POD publishing (not to be confused with vanity-press) are becoming widely accepted methods of book publishing--including those methods used by small and indie presses.) It took me a few days to find a good local printer--and then went nationwide to hunt for the same in other states. Some software will allow you to do most of the work yourself, but you still won't come out with what you originally envisioned. My advice is to get your manuscript up and running to the best of your ability--professionally edited--and then let the book printer do the rest of the work for you; by getting it printed.
