[bizwhiz]

Hi, I have some educational books i need to get copyed to look like the original... (not a copyright book)

Can anyone recommend a place within a couple of hours of BKK where i might be able to get this done at?? I'd be looking at getting over a thousand copys...

120 booklet size pages with a glossy cover...

If you could aslo give your opinion on what the cost per book may be?

thanks

If they are not copyrighted, why do they need to look like the original? Another multi million dollar idea perhaps!

I get books printed every couple of weeks or so from a local print store. They do the bindings, glossy cover, etc. It basically looks the real book sold in the stores (mine are not for a noble cause, just illegally downloaded pdf's of the originals).

I order only one or two at a time because I'm an avid reader. For a 500 page, glossy cover, ring binding copy, I pay around 200 baht.

If you order a lot more, then I'm sure they can give you a break on the price. However, please bear in mind the profit margins of printing shops here in Thailand are already tiny, so how much they can discount you? I don't know, but probably not very much (5-10% or so).

I would advise you to check out one of the large universities in your area (assuming they are near). Printing tends to be cheapest on campus as the universities print 10's of thousands of copies every semester.

Good Luck.

Thanks appreciate it,

Can you PM me the whereabouts of the shop you use?

Cheers.
