Implementing a simple INT from stat to finish

Binding only with glue.

Starting from ... 1!

Keep in mind that no other cost is calculated (page layout, cover design, any image processing etc).

This is the net cost for printing and binding plus everything else. Usually the total cost is increased by about 150 euros for the cover design, another 20-40 euros per 16 pages (depends on the material, text, maths, pictures etc) and a profit margin of 30% plus any taxes.

But for the forum I can help and manage to have only the printing cost. I don't know how much will be the shipping cost. From Greece it is a bit expensive. Maybe an account from your side could help.

well, thats interesting. Prices for production have really dropped . I guess you might recall that Crownhill used to publish some books - like the excellent 'Experimenting with PICBASIC Pro' and similar. They were all perfect bound with colour front and rear and colour on some graphics inside. So i can see that current production costs are way lower than they used to be. Very interesting.

My town has a really hard competition. Athens is more expensive and rest of Europe too expensive either in print-on-demand or Offset.

Usually for a 1 copy of an A4 page you pay 0,03 euro and some do even 0,025 for more copies...!

That of course for a photocopy quality, not Print quality.
