I'll probably go with Blurb.  But Blurb is unable to just swallow a 
formatted .doc file as text import in other than their small size book 
intended for (mostly) text.  The 8x10 and larger book formats don't have 
this import capability built in so one must copy text in bits.  But I 
don't know how large the bits can be, whether multi-page or not.  I'll 
have to download the software and diddle with it.
