Cheapest Place to Get Books Prinited Out?

by Jason H
4 replies
I really need some resources for this.

I need to print out a short e-report (about 200 copies of them) that is going to be give out for free, and I need to know where is the cheapest place to get get it made into an actual physical form.

I already stopped by Kinkos, OfficeMax, OfficeDepot, and Staples, and the full cost to get the whole thing done is way over my budget. I was expecting around a $1-$2 for each of them, but it ended up being $5 a piece.

Is there any other place I can do this with a really tight budget?

Thanks for any help.

    Maybe a local print shop that's not a big corporation. At that volume, it's going to be difficult to pay just $2.

    I've used InstantPublisher.com in the past, but that was for 1,000 copies of a 200 page book. It came out to about $3 a book.

      How many pages in the report? And what all are you wanting done? Just copied and stapled? Or GBC or spiral-bound with a nice front and back cover?

      Dan's content is irregularly read by handfuls of people. Join the elite few by reading his blog: dcrBlogs.com, following him on Twitter: dcrTweets.com or reading his fiction: dcrWrites.com but NOT by Clicking Here!

      Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

      I have a book that I am currently writing and was going to as the same question as the OP. Thank you for saving me some time, I'll check them out. I assume the quality was good, as you recommended them.

    Try createspace, you can get your books printed out for less than $5 depending on the format that you select and you get the added bonus of having a real ISBN number and a listing on Amazon.com.
