I currently have my book published on Amazon using createspace and Lulu (google weave of the ride). However, I am not happy with the quality of the product.

I don't want a glossy cover, bleached white paper etc. I would like to have more control over this and get a more professional look that people are going to want to have as part of their collection.

There is nothing wrong with my book, in fact it has some great reviews and feedback, but I feel the format is letting it down. What can I do?
