Lulu: The Long Tail of publishing

In one area at least, the new economy is delivering on its promise.

In just three years, Canadian Internet entrepreneur Bob Young's Lulu (http://lulu.com) has gone from nothing to a turnover of $16 million and is now publishing 2,500 new titles a week by unknown authors from across the globe.
