Lulu.com Extends Free Shipping Through July

I just noticed that Lulu.com has extended the free shipping offer they had going in June to the end of July. This is a great deal.

Which leads me to a story...

I ordered 4 print books from Lulu in June. I had wanted to see what the trade sized books were like anyways but I was in no hurry, but the free shipping was the deciding factor. I am a sucker for free shipping at both Barnes and Noble and Amazon so I am true to form at Lulu too. Anyway, Lulu has put the rocket boosters on their printing and shipping. I placed that order on June 21st, the post man delivered the books yesterday, June 30th. That is as fast as Amazon's free shipping, but Lulu is pulling this off with print-on-demand books which is pretty amazing. Big thumbs up on the speed of the shipping!

I am glad to report the quality of the printed books was first rate as well and I am happily reading away.
