Is there a way to get a nicely bound hardcopy ? Doing a single one-off is expensive, I wonder if a hundred people got togehter, would a larger run be more cost effective ? Are there services for those larger runs ?

For a 1000 page book, it suggest pricing of ≈$120 for single copies, down to $15-25 for a run of 1000.

I can also get a coil binding machine for $50, and can print the book for maybe $15 and spend 1h printing and binding chapters…

Maybe cheap child labour is called for…
