<div>Hi Claire</div>
<div>If you take Peter's suggestion and self publish, then here are the two printers I have used:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Digital Print Australia (<a href="http://www.digitalprintaustralia.com/">www.digitalprintaustralia.com</a>) printed Reflections of a Kimberley Woman. No minimum number of copies, though more = lower cost. Details are on their website and they are quick to give a quote. They will do artwork for an additional fee or you can present your work complete. They will accept it as pdf files. First run unit cost is slightly dearer than subsequent runs. Each book (A5 paperback with b/w inside on 80gsm white paper) is around $AU7.00 postage included in Australia. I'm not sure if they have a distribution service, but they do have an online shop and distribute royalties once a year.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. The Nyikina Stories were printed at Everbest in China. We submitted finished item and they produced a quality custom-sized book with glossy pages and hard cover. In fact our quality wasn't good enough and they nit picked until we met their standards. The drawback is that their minimum first run is 1500 books. The quoted price includes delivery but you have to pay GST on arrival at the wharf in Oz or you don't get to pick up the shipment. Including GST each book comes in at around $9.00. You do your own distribution with this option.</div>
<div>Of course, you need to be able to pay up front for both of these options.</div>
