Recommendation for self-printing?

[michygeary]

Hello fiction friends!

I'm looking for a website/business/service etc that will allow me to have my book printed in hardcover. I'm not looking to make multiple copies but rather just one for a gift.

Does anyone recommend any sites they've used that produce high quality hard cover books that would allow me to have just one printed? Thank you!

I've used Blurb (www.blurb.com) in the past to get one-off hardback books printed, although I haven't used their B&W service before, so I don't know what the quality of it is like. Their colour / photobooks are pretty good, though, so I would anticipate something similar.

I always thought you could get a one-off printing from Lulu in hardback, as it was POD. Useful to know that they have a minimum order now; I'd been considering trying them myself, might have to rethink it...

Thank you! I will look into that one. I actually completely misread Lulu and it was 24 PAGE minimum, not book minimum, haha. I'm an idiot!
