When I want printed books (paperbacks) I order them through Amazon/KDP. There's no minimum order, and I find the prices very reasonable. You will have to pay shipping, of course, making it less economical to order in small batches. I don't have pictures, which may be a difference that matters for printing. (less)

It was a converted barracks unit, just the right size for two desks and some bookcases. We kept casual visitors to a minimum by playing opera music, which Sharon and I enjoy. Apparently, not everyone does! (less)
