I never expect Lulu, Lightning Source, CreateSpace, or AuthorHouse (among others) to do the marketing for the book, that's my job. However, until recently, the revenue share from Amazon.com is heavily swayed against anyone besides CreateSpace for a competitive price. I had enough leeway because it was a succinct book in a high price market, but novels don't stand a chance. Thanks for the feedback. CreateSpace may be the option for a different book written for charity. FYI: The book is on Amazon, from lulu.com publishing options, thus my note that the majority of sales have been through Amazon (Lulu sales garner 246% more author revenue).

How many pages is the book? You should consider publishing on Createspace. Createspace gains you access to Amazon and wider distribution and a better opportunity to make your money back. Lulu just doesn't give you the traffic you need. Hope it helps! Bernie Mario, sorry to hear you haven’t quite broke even yet.
