Getting decent print from an online source is not going to be easy. Let me know if you don't have any luck as I've been working in commercial print since 1981 I might be able to find you a solution.
I won't laugh at anything you do. I just look forward to the results.
I'm good. Been building bikes, working, eating, sleeping. Not doing much creative though, but inspiration is bound to bite sooner or later. Just got back from a short jaunt around the Welsh mountains which helped blow some of the cobwebs away.

I still haven't got any answer from "friends of my friensd" in poland... I know it takes time, but not THAT long.
I want to try [link] have you heard about them? the books there look great, but they prices are high. I've got a loan from the bank so I can pay for some books. I really want to print them and as long as I can work I know I can pay it back

I have no experience of online sellers at all. I take jobs straight to trade printers and finishers. A decent book is always going to be expensive to produce. It's one of those things that you need to print lots of to get a decent unit price.
How much are they charging (I can't access their price lists) for how many and what sizes/options do they allow you.
If you give me a rough idea what you are looking for and a budget I will tell you what's possible in the world of general printing. That way you will at least know if you are getting a good price.
I would expect Northern and Eastern European printers to be far cheaper than U.K. or Scandinavian ones. But it's probably worth me getting you a price from here anyway.
Have you considered hand binding them yourself? If you are only making very few books it can be a worthwhile money saver. Takes a bit of practise but the results can be excellent.

You have?
Hmm. You must have done something...
The title and the great shot makes me wonder. The sadness, no, the thoughtfulness is intriguing. Great work!

Ah, the REMA version. "The obvious is often the answer" or something like that.
