Book Printing and Binding dilemma

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of putting together a book for our family tree. It contained mostly of photos that I collected from our family and some stories/ information here and there

My specs are:
1. 15 copies
2. about 40 pages of 8-1/2" by 11"
3. full-color
4. hardbound with casing
5. durable

Can anybody suggest of a printing company who can do this? Most printing presses require a minimum number of copies. I've been looking around for the printing press that would take this job.

Should I go for offset printing or personalized?

Any suggestions on the specs? Within reasonable cost, of course.

I didn't think this would be a problem at all, when I embarked on this project.
So, I would really appreciate any suggestions. Please, help me.

Have you had a look at mypubllisher.com? May not be quite what you're looking for, but I did the same thing with family photos and was very pleased with the results I got from them... there's also a buy-one-get-one-free coupon floating about the internet just now...

Thumbs down

Thanks for the link, vvs.

I didn't know anything about "Photo Books". I'm only thinking of offset printing. Thank you so much. I've posted on the right spot.
