How do I Publish a "Real" Book?

[PEERless]

As you know from threads like Critique My eBook Sales Page, I NEED QUOTES from LUCKY PEOPLE!!!, and Vote on the Best eBook "Cover", I have an eBook I'm working on.

I started it, because I like the subject and have some knowledge and new angles on it. I chose to do it as an eBook, only because it seemed FastLane, but I have been considering publishing it as a "real" book for a few reasons:

1. Credibility
2. Value
3. Content-protection

So, if I go this route, what is the best way? I can self-publish through a service like Lulu. I don't exactly have traditional publishers banging down my door. Lulu seems to offer the whole package, including assigning an ISBN and making the book available on all the important databases.

Since I have my own site and networking/marketing capabilities, I don't need a traditional publisher for that role.

Help me brainstorm this. I should be edited and ready to print this Fall.
