It is fairly easy to do. Just follow their templates and stuff and you will get there. I cannot tell you the weird feeling I got when I opened that first test print. To actually hold a book that you laid out, edited, and proofed is something. I don't know what, but it is something.

(Forgot to add that I had never done anything like that before. I write things, but I have ever had them published before.)
