publishing: im a self-published author. im looking for a distributor, should i go with lightning source, or?

Question

or one of the other ones that does marketing and fulfillment?

Answer 1

Whoever you decide on, don't believe the companies claims; its only prudent to check with a major book store, like Barns & Noble, and ask them how many books they carry from a certain distributor. Usually they are glad to provide the information. It can save you a lot of frustration and headaches later.
