Options for a single/small run of A6 booklets?

[Paul Murray]

I'm looking to get a single copy of a book I've produced for a university brief printed up so I can submit it for marking. I've looked at sites like lulu.com but they only go down to A5 in size.

What are my options for a single copy or a small run (say, 5-10)? I'm not happy with the actual book yet so I don't want to order a huge amount that will just gather dust and am happy to pay extra to have a smaller run.

I spoke to a local printer today but they outsource their digital printing, so I suspect my quote came back with a 'handling fee' attached. These are the specs we discussed:

A6 28pp booklets, plus cover.
Inside: 120gsm (happy to go lighter) CMYK throughout
Cover: 300gsm (happy to go lighter), no printing (need the covers blank)
Saddle stitch

Any suggestions/quotes? I can supply a PDF of the spreads if it helps.

I've often used Neil at ScubaPrint for digital printing and never had any issues.

There aren't that many booklet makers that go down to A6...but I know someone who has one and could help you if Scubaprint can't.
