Please can anyone tell me a good place to go in Chiangmai to get a pdf file of a novel printed as a reasonable quality hardback with my own basic design? I only want ten copies. There would be no need for colour except on the binding and jacket. I have tried something similar before and ended up with a binding that didn't remotely resemble what I asked for.

Contact the Chiang Mai writers group. Someone there might know. PM sent.

Although it's aimed at people who want to make photobooks, PhotoBug's service is good quality and for individual copies or very short runs might be a good option. You can design the cover any way you want. You'll find them on Chang Phuak road on the left about 75m from the gate as you head out of town.

CMU prints books and they do an incredible job (50 stang per page) but I do not know if they can do they can do hard bound books. The best printer on the campus is next to HB 7 on the first floor in the same building as Chinese Department and they speak very good English.
