<p>I've used <a href="http://www.bookmasters.com/" target="_blank">Bookmasters</a> twice for self-publishing art-storybooks (<a href="http://drupal.omnibucket.com/eleventybillion.htm" target="_blank">Eleventy Billion Miles Away</a>, and <a href="http://www.gods-acre.com" target="_blank">God's Acre</a>) and have been happy. I'm surprised at how big they're getting now though since it seemed like some small midwestern operation.</p><p>The following was from an email blast of theirs.
