CreateSpace is a remarkable resource. To keep its costs down, it is not able to answer all member questions. Although it posts its Submission Requirements, simple as they are, they can be confusing, To provide help, CreateSpace established a forum, where people can post questions and get answers. Help is no better than the participation in the forum. Two problems arise in this model, many people, new to CreateSpace ask the same questions that have been asked and answered countless times before, and sometimes questions are asked that are somewhat outside the scope of an effective forum.
