http://www.blurb.com (clear winner)
http://www.lulu.com (popular but US shipping, not v green)
http://www.completelynovel.com/ (new startup)
http://www.lightningsource.com/ (mixed reviews)
http://biddles.co.uk (untested)

And publishers’ alternatives:
http://www.authorhouse.co.uk/ http://www.authonomy.com/
Waterstones in-house printing services

And also:
http://www.metamute.org/ (friends of friends doing Drupal pod stuff)
http://www.issuu.com

Thank you Twitter!
