Bands make their own CD's all the time and no one cares, just as long as the music is good. The same should go for books, but for some reason it doesn't. Maybe it's because the technology to easily make a book is so new, compared to the technology of making music (before CD's there were thousands of tapes made by garage bands everywhere). I also agree with your definitions of what a Vanity press, and I agree a Vanity press isn't necesserely a bad thing, just as long as the quality of the work is good. That's my biggest problem with ALL forms of publising, and this goes for the big houses too. I've read too many books that are poorly made and/or poorly written.
