Printing the book

[Spencer]

Does anyone have any advice on choosing a printer for your books? Is there anyone you recommend? Anyone you don't? Is there anything you would have done differently?

[Troy Hasbrouck / Jester Press]

Depends on how big of a print run you want to do....any ideas of how many you wanted to get printed?

[Spencer]

We're looking at a first run of inbetween 500-1000 books, about 100 pages each.

Anything over 96 pages requires a flat spine, or so I hear. (As opposed to saddle stitch.)
Kablam.com will do upto 52 pages with a color cover B&W interior for $2.21 USD each.
BUT I have never used them, I hear good things though.

[Frank Zig]

Did anyone ever come up with anything? OR did this thread dry up like a turd in the wind?

/Curious.

I've gotten a few tips, but I haven't met with the local people yet, so I don't know. It seems to me that shipping costs can be a real factor that no one seems to want to talk about. I mean, I'm not trying to be cheap, but I do want to know where I'm spending my money.

well, i think we have found a few places, but im not sure wether or not we want someone local. but besides us, this thread seems dead.

Have you tried Regal printing. Its in china but it might be worth it.

all the best
