I've Found The Secret
Having deluded myself into thinking I've written a really good book, I'm now facing the harsh reality of literary agents having zero interest in it. I do my research and make sure I'm sending to the right types of agents, but for the most part, their comments can be summed up as, "Not for me, but thanks for thinking of me. Good luck and keep trying. And sorry about this form letter." It's the market, I've decided. (It's easier for a writer to think that than to think that his/her writing is simply crappy, unsellable dross.)
Here's what I should've written.

Great post! I understand completely! Self-publish and be done with rejection at least.

If you wanted to, you could probably work with Lulu to get your book to press by self-publishing (as suggested above).
Might be worth converting it to epub as well, and seeing if you can sell it that way...

You forgot to mention the foreword by Snookie and The Situation.
