I highly recommend lulu.com. The quality of the printing is excellent 
and the service is superb. You can see some of my print-on-demand work 
at <http://www.lulu.com/jules>

In "Digital Incunabula" <http://www.madlaughter.com/digital.htm> I 
discuss some not-often considered aspects of print-on-demand books as 
bookart.

There's no set-up fee, but, of course, you do have to pay for the books.

You will also want to look at 
<http://www.cafecancun.com/bookarts/mills.shtml> "The Painful Pleasures 
of Self-Publication" by Dorothy Jane Mills. This is a very comprehensive 
article by one of the earlier print-on-demand self-publishers. The 
advice and the links are a few years old, but, overall, valid and useful.
