Bookbinding service?

[Cromulent]

Can anyone recommend a bookbinding service for me at all? I have no experience in this field at all so searching on the web is just going to result in me going for the cheapest, but I want something decent.

I have four PDF documents. Two are 500 pages long, and two are over 2000 pages long. I want to get the four PDF documents printed and bound for me so I can use them as reference material.

For those interested, the PDF documents are the Intel Developer Manuals.

Most universities have a binding service on campus, primarily for dissertations (ring bound) and PhDs (book bound). They aren't cheap but they have lots of experience.

That is a good point. I live near to Surrey university so could give them a call and see what they say.

If you are going to refer to these a lot I would hazard a guess that the spine will be falling apart in no time. I would just use ring binders then its easy to replace damaged pages. Obviously a faff punching all the holes, but cheap !

Got to be Doxdirect. Absolutely fantastic service and very reasonably priced. Lots of different choices too. Personally, I’d go for spiral bound in your case. Plus, they also send out haribo with orders! They’re quick too, a couple of days turnaround normally.

Actually, sorry, I just noticed how big the books are. Yeah, ring binders for me too in that case. You still might have to split them as 2000 pages is massive! Don’t expect the printing to be cheap.

Do Intel sell them in printed versions? If so you could be refused on copyright grounds.

Slightly off topic but is this white paper stuff related to your crypto idea?
