Blurb.com is a
company which provides a print on demand publishing service for the
general public. It allows you to make and sell your own books
online. The selling model is very similar to
CafePress.com. This isn't a
new service -- even Time Magazine named Blurb one of
2006's "50 Coolest Web Sites", but I somehow didn't notice it
earlier.
