What did they charge you per book for a given quantity? Is it "print on demand" only?

It is print-on-demand (POD) only. There is no cost per book as such, and no inventory for me to buy. I bought a publishing 'package' from them (IIRC, about 350$) and sent them my book as a CD Rom. They formatted it, did the cover art (from my idea) and sent the file to the POD printers, Lightening Source. But I had to do the proof reading, to make sure that when they transfered my file to their program, nothing was screwed up. It was. I spent about two months, sending and receiving drafts from them, eventually whittling down the errors. There was a pricing schedule sent to me, I could choose my royalty. I chose the lowest percentage, to keep the retail price as low as possible.
