Self-Publishing a Graphics-Intensive Book

Has anyone self-published a book with lots of graphics and photos? I self-published one of my books, but it had only a few graphics, and it was years ago before POD. The challenge I'm wondering about is the size of the files and getting them to the printer. My book would be about 100 pages, and it would have at least one or two graphics or photos on each page, and it would be in color. It seems extremely expensive. Any experience with this?

Thanks for your invite! As for your question, books like that (and bigger, as in coffee table books...) are arguably the best candidates for printing overseas in Asia. It can be very cost-effective... I don't have any personal experience with it, but if you Google a bit, I'm sure you'll find a lot of companies and can likely get references from them as well to make you feel more comfortable about the whole process. Good luck!
