There are two types of publishing: Tradition and Self-Publishing.
The first answer that you got suggested http://www.lulu.com which is, in my opinion, the best self-publisher around. You can set up your book on their website, for free, and they will print copies as they are purchased. They do not edit your book, so you will need to take care of that on your own. This will also NOT get your book in a traditional bookstore, although you can purchase a very affordable package that would allow sale of your book through online bookstores like Amazon.
The second answer referenced "Writer's Market" which, along with "The Guide to Literary Agents" are my two suggestions for diving into the traditional publishing market. I suggest looking for an agent first because they are the best step through the publishing door. You will create a submission package that matches the agents preferences (some, for instance, just want a query letter and summary in your first contact with them while others want more). Once you find an agent that is willing to represent you, they will market your book to publishers. Remember, in traditional publishing you should not be paying for anything! They get paid when you get paid!
But first, you have to get that thing written! Happy writing and good luck!

Writers Market (2007) It's a book that will tell you all about editors and publishers and what they are looking for.
