This should be fixed in some kind of collaborative effort between them - whatever is easier - a sufficiently accurate RGB profile that works in LR, or an LR adaptation to read their CMYK profile. When migrating from display to printed book there is enough difference of image appearance to warrant a special effort to fix this. For now we have three choices (1) don't softproof and see what happens, (2) find an RGB profile that comes closest to the effect of their CMYK profile, or (3) export every image to Photoshop for softproofing using their profile and re-import it to LR for exporting over to Blurb.
Not to appear too self serving but there is a 4th choice.
Those users who have ColorThink Pro with the optional ColorCast module can "embed" the proofing effect of any ICC profile (RGB, CMYK, or more channels) INTO an existing RGB profile like AdobeRGB or ProPhoto.
This produces a "normal" device profile that can be used for soft or hard proofing in any application that will support the profile's color model (RGB, CMYK).
It's an easy way to do 5, 6, 7-channel soft proofing in Photoshop. I don't see any reason why a CMYK output profile couldn't be embedded into AdobeRGB for soft proofing in LR.
