Interesting concept and features for kids.
Should one ask for an adult or grown-up version as well? I am not familiar with the general self-publish software or printing solutions that may exist out there, but the concept they offer would be nice for many of us. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Not from Knowledge Adventure -- their particular focus is kids.

I understand. Would you perhaps have any additional info about other but similar services for online/printing publishing services for an individual like myself?

Not offhand, sorry. This isn't a publishing or printing service per se -- it's a book creator for kids that lets them create one of four stories using some customized details and information, with personalized content like their own illustrations and photos. A custom publishing service as you've described it is not, however -- any more than iPhoto is a custom publishing service because you can print your photo collections as hardcover book.
