I have created a picture book and already have it designed and have a local printer who is going to handle the print-on-demand.

I can not find a self publishing website that does not dictate the layout/design, and printing of the book.

Can anyone tell me:

1. Is there a site out there where I can register the book and myself as the self publisher without having to give up what I have already created? 

2. Do I have to "publish" the book? I have an ISBN and bar-code. I have my own website where the book will be sold as well as local shops. Of course I would be thrilled if it is on amazon.com.
