Re: Publishing/editing (for POD) advice sought

"P-O-D" = publishing on demand? If so, I would prefer the deliverable
to be PDF, especially given that Open Office does a fine job of
exporting to PDF.

If the author has a contract with a particular publishing service,
find out what their requirements are.
