$7 to $10 is an average fee for POD publishers not printers. Again, it certainly depends on the size of the book. A 400-page book (the person said between 200 and 400 pages) would go much higher POD than your 236 page book. That's why I offered the high range. But you are right. Of all the POD printers, Lightning Source is one of the less expensive per copy.

But the person wanted to use a POD publishing service to include copyright, ISBN, Amazon listing, etc. That's why POD publishers charge more per copy than Lightning Source, which simply prints your book but doesn't charge for editorial, typesetting, ISBN, etc. because they don't generally offer those services.

$7 to %10 seems a little high for a small POD book. Mine is 236 pages, and I pay $4.44 per copy from Lightnng Source.
