Does anyone know a good place/website/shop to print PDFs, possibly even bind them?

I have picked up a couple of PDFs from RPGNow/DrivethroughRPG over the time (including stuff like a complete Scion book for free) and would like to find a way to print those that I actually want to keep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let please not let this get into a copyright discussion, all the stuff from RPGNow I have gives me the right to print it out ....

Hi John,
There's Kinko but I have a funny feeling they're quite expensive. Failing that, how about your local copy shop? I tend to either keep them as PDFs and buy a hard copy, or use my own printer and file folders for those that I can't get a dead tree version of.

Like John I usually print them myself (double sided on a Canon IP4300) and then take them to Staples to be bound. Staples can do the printing as well, but they aren't cheap.

You need to be very careful abut using sites like Lulu to print things like this, they require that you have the rights to "publish" the file, not just print it, which you will not have. I know people who have managed to print purchased pdfs as private projects on Lulu, but they were breaching copyright to do so.

To be honest, when you actually add up all the costs, in most cases it's actually cheaper to just go buy the printed book in the first place.

I have actually started up a Facebook group, called We want Print on Demand from Paizo. You might want to join and add your support.

But I would also like to find somewhere that can give me a quote on printing Adlatum Campaign Setting (the fantastic freebie from Dragonlance Nexus).
