I checked, and Kinko's is considerably more expensive than I initially thought - I was remembering the binding cost, which is $3-5, but I wasn't thinking about the printing cost, which is somewhere between $12-25 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />. At a cost-to-them of roughly $0.03 per page (if it's that high), that's practically robbery.Sorry for the bad recommendation.Anyway, they can do book binding pretty cheap, but for printing, I'd recommend going elsewhere. Are you in high school? One option, if your library (or computer science teacher) has a laser printer, is to see if you can provide your own paper and pay a very small fraction of the cost for toner. Depending on where in the US you are, and what quality of paper you want, a 500-page ream should cost you somewhere around $2-6; and most toner cartridges cost about $0.01-0.02 per page (for about $3-6 for the toner). If the teacher is using something like an HP4100, the toner cost is even lower - somewhere around $0.005 per page.So:Upper_Krust's PDF: $8Decent paper: $3Toner cover cost: $3-6Kinko's binding: $3-6Total: about $17 to $23If the teacher doesn't care about the toner cost, that's even better. And you could also go without the binding, use a 3-hole punch and a cheap 3-ring binder, and have an uglier but still usable book.EDIT: Didn't know you had a home printer - that can save you some money, too <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
