I currently POD a couple of books. I do them myself as my orders come in. While it costs a little more than going with some of the large POD firms - there are a few added benifits. I can add color to the text and many of the PODs still require a minimum order to get that low price.

One avenue you might check into is your local printer. If they have one of the new, digital printing presses, they can do small runs for decent price (and with color) - some of them even bind books. And, with digital printing, the set-up/design fee is minimal if you get the book to them in an electronic format that they can work with. I have considered outsourcing to my local printer since they have went digital.
