Check out http://www.lulu.com you can publish your books there for free...they'll even tie your books in with Amazon.com. It's pretty cool.

Don't just sign up with some publisher who says they will publish it for you for free and a promote it and everything, really look over the deal and the documents. You can really get screwed if you're not careful, like they can own the rights to your books and profit off them later on... there are so many loopholes. Make sure you do it the right way. Like some companies will take as much as 70% of your profits and crap.
Be careful.

You can search the net for people who will publish them free as E Books, as long as they are what they are looking for and meet the standard they expect. However, you won't have an actual book to hold in your hands.
The other option is to enter them in to competitions. The prize for a completed story is sometimes a print run. Competitions are a really great way to build up your bio as a writer and to get your work published.
The other option which can be costly is to self publish. You need to liaise with a digital printer who will give you a quote (a print run minimum is normally around 100), they will design a cover for you if needs be too. Put it this way, in $AUD a print run of 100 books, say 20,000 words including cover would cost approx $4,000
Good luck - I would personally explore the competition option - there are a lot of comps for poetry too with cash prizes

You should get a literary agent that will submit your books to prospective publishers. There aren't any legitimate free book publishers.

Have you consider making them into an ebook? ebooks can be sold via email and downloads and if you self publish the only basic costs are the ebook making software and finding a web hosting company where customers can order your book, online.

all publisher are free except vanity publishers. if they are charging they wont do a good job or promote your book.
you need to send it to be well known companys and except that it will take while to find one willing to invest in you.

If you've actually written books and you're this serious, I think you should be looking for help somewhere other than yahoo answers.
