I've had to make some minor changes to my books (font size for an intro, that kind of stuff) - I didn't feel a proof was necessary, and now CS lets you bypass having to order a proof and go directly to publish. I love that. It's on a trial basis and I hope they keep it.

Createspace is the way to go. They are the best.

Anyone know of someone who is good with CreateSpace formatting? I've formatted all my own books for Kindle/Nook, etc and I'm pretty adept at it by now (I even formatted Dave White's WITNESS TO DEATH and I'm super proud of that job), but I'm way too lazy to work my head around formatting for print on CS. Anyone know of someone who is good and affordable?

I typeset my CreateSpace novel in QuarkXpress and converted it to pdf for uploading.  You have to use a cover template after your interior is uploaded, so the spine can be sized to fit the number of pages.  You can see the interior of my print book here: http://www.amazon.com/Southern-Man-Connie-Chastain/dp/061529801X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245882533&sr=1-1

I chose Georgia as the interior font -- even though Microsoft created it to be a screen font, not a print font -- because it's big and easy to read.

I'm with you -- extremely pleased with my CreateSpace trade paperback.  Excellent print quality, binding that will last, and that cream colored paper is beautiful.  The glossy cover pleases me immensely.  All in all, my CreateSpace book is beautiful, and I can't find a thing to complain about.
