Why not send it to a publishing company and wait for feedback if it's good enough?

Kay2009 just discuss with a local printer first. Prices vary from location to location. Futhermore, the printers expertise and method of printing also affect the quality and cost of the job. It is unwise for you to cost it as unit price. Much wiser to go for bulk. Since you are doing it for a select few friends, quality should be your focus, not the money. Let me know if u have more questions.

By the way, for those other illiterates, selling on amazon does not automatically translate to big money. Not all nigerians scam online.

Thanks a lot.

Am a printer here in shomolu area in Lagos. The price varies based on so many factors like location, quality of the paper, lamination, binding, the printing machine and so on, and keep it at the back of upper mind that the higher the quality, the lower the price don't expect a answer here, cox even if i give you the quotation here, the price may vary tomorrow due to to price of dollar, If you wish to contact me, only if Nairaland permit me to upload my email oluwayahoo@gmail.com

Thanks. I will send you a mail.

The number you want to print is quite low to justify disturbing a printing press for. What I will advise is that you get someone to do the arrangement of your book format in way that you can print on a normal hp printer. If you can get where the cost of printing black and white is cheap it will be helpful for you. After printing the inside of the book, you need to print the back cover on stronger paper. It could be cardboard type or the type used in printing certificates. You should then approach a local printer to have him laminate the printed part of the book cover. Either the printer or those that bind books can then complete the rest of the process. It wouldn't come out in a top notch form but it will meet your target.

Okay. Thanks a lot.

You must visit a publisher to ascertain the cost of publishing the book for you (it is my field) you can't use Microsoft Word to know how many pages the book will give you. Since you said it about 34 pages in Microsoft Word it will give you around 68_100 pages with the plea luminary pages (table of contents, dedication, acknowledgement, and others). It you print lass than 1000 it will cost you more, but budget around 250_300 per book depending on the size of the book

God bless you sir.

Thanks to Seun and the MODS for moving this to front page. I really needed this publicity...for my book cover and name.



And for those saying if I already sell on Amazon, why don't I have money to print. It doesn't automatically mean you will become a bestseller once you are on Amazon. And an average novel sells for $2.99; after Taxes and Amazon fees, the author/publisher gets about $1.4 on a book. If you are lucky to sell 100 copies of your book, that is about $140. Which is about N42,000. To print/publish a thousand copies of the size of my book, I would need between N400-500k depending on quality.
