Darkwolf187 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Hey all, Just letting people know that if you're after a printed and bound A-10 manual, don't ignore bookbinders who specialize in doing thesis bindings for Uni students. Bookbinders who do that kind of work will be completely used to dealing with long documents that the customer only wants one of. The A-10C Flight Manual comes already properly formatted for a bookbinder to use, with a significant gutter on the inside edges. All you'll need to tell the bookbinder to do is to either not resize at all (and print it in US Letter), or if resizing to A4 only pay attention to the cropping for the pages with numbers on them and disregard any cropping on the chapter interval pages (which are full page). I had mine printed and bound by a local bookbinder, and it's turned out great. Cost me AU$117 to get done with a faux leather hardback cover and gold print on the spine. The $117 included printing in B&W. Would have cost me more than that to be printed via Mimeo with a horrible Velo binding, on account of the extraordinary shipping costs to Australia.

Darkwolf187 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks for the link... But I fail to see its relevance to the topic, which was about people who want to source printing locally due to high shipping costs... But anyway.
