Im looking to find a printer for a book im working on. Thinking along the line of approx 500 books, linen faced hard back with dust sheet, full colour, a4-ish with around 300 pages. The net seems a minefield of cheapy offers but i dont know where to start.
Obviously looking to keep costs reasonable but want a nice quality feel to the book.
Would welcome any suggestions smile

Thanks for the comments. I'm aware that there is an element of vanity about the order size but it's for a niche cycling market with a limited demand. Would probably be a pre-order arrangement so my risks are limited but I've had initial quotes online ranging from a fiver a copy up to 30 quid. I imagined costs running to around 10-15 a copy. There is a nice little bookshop near work and I had thought about investigating printers in books similar to the quality I'm after but the order quantity may be a stumbling block.
