If you were like my dear friend “Tomelloso” you could think this is a triple x URL but it’s not like that! www.lulu.com is the most popular auto-publishing website in the world. It was created by the entrepreneur Bob Young (Red Hat founder).
The key here is offering the possibility to publish your own book free. There is no need for editorial boards or anyone to pick up the interesting book and publish it for you. Benefits for the author is 80% of the sales in opposite to the current 10% offered by classic publishing-companies. Following the Web 2.0 philosophy this guy is breaking again the market rules and with success!
Have you ever thought about writing and publishing your own book?
Thanks and smile,

don't worry Tome one day you will have millions and millions and you will be all the day creating value to the shareholders, discounting cash-flows (i know you enjoy doing that a lot)
remember what we learnt at the MBA " a fool with his money doesn't last a long time together..."
