Hi Kevin,

Out of curiosity how did you come across CreateSpace and Lulu (I'm
guessing you inherited lulu, as we've probably been using them forever).
And has lulu been able to (or even working on) fix the issues they had?

I'm guessing that you want a publisher who will publish CC-SA licensed
material, is low cost, and can get the book in as many different
stores/formats as possible.

Have a great day.:)
Patrick.
