Hi all

I'm just about to launch into doing the layout for a couple of projects I'm publishing this Summer.

I'm doing them via Lulu, so merrily I went to their cost calculator....only to realise I had no idea of what sizes to put in.

So perhaps this question is a bit Lulu biased, but from those with experience what's the best size for the following types;

A magazine with roughly 60 pages

A book with 280 pages.

If you need more info shout out - but be aware I've hit the complete wall of befuddlement on this one.

I saw some talk of this in one of the other topics here and would like to see what other think the best methods for shipping from the US to Europe?

We've worked with Andrew and have shipped to him a few times, but it seems like it's the choice between time or money. Once, to get him books in time for a con we used DHL, which was the cheapest of the main three shipper(UPS, FedEx, and DHL).

On the other side, to save money we shipped books by USPS M-Bag. Which I have to note, the weight listed on there web site is not the weight that they will allow in a M-Bag now. But as Andrew said, it took something like 6 weeks to reach him.
