The first book, for example, is about $21 in paperback from Amazon and I'm having trouble finding a printer around here who would give me those 416 pages for less. Maybe it starts to make sense if you print several at once.
- e12e 9y agoIf they allow you to print it, you might want to look at blurb.com: http://www.blurb.com/pricing#/tab/trade-books http://www.blurb.com/pricing#/tab/trade-books Looks like 450 pages, trade, 8x11 inces will run you about 20 USD with cheapest print/shipping combination (possibly with some added tax on top). (16 for printing, 4 for shipping - and this is for a single book - I assume shipping /book will be less if you order more than one book). I haven't used them, but they were mentioned here a while back. A quick google search turns up: http://www.thebookpatch.com/#calculator http://www.thebookpatch.com/#calculator (looks more expensive for single print runs) and of course good old: http://www.lulu.com/create/books http://www.lulu.com/create/books (Appears to be somewhat cheaper).
- wongarsu 9y agoIf you print double sided on a large laser printer, you can print in black and white for about 3 cents per sheet (two pages á ~1 cent, one sheet of paper for about 1 cent). That runs you 6 dollars. A for binding you can use thermal binding for about 50 cents per piece. So by pure material cost it can be done for 7 dollars (less if you have volume). But of course only if you have access to the equipment, nobody is selling it that cheap.
