Leaving present for a colleague, mostly text but maybe the odd pic. Wouldn't be big, maybe 20-30 pages. Hardback preferred.
Anyone know a good, FAST, supplier of shit like dat ?
A photo book could be the way to go. With the text as photos.
You shouldn't have to do the text as photos. Most photo books will give you a choice of different page layouts, including text only content, so you can type it straight in.
I've used Photobox several times, but any of the big names should be fine.
I was recommended Lulu and Blurb when I asked on here a few years ago. Both looked like good options. Didn't end up doing what I planned in the end so can't comment on service.
Thanks for the suggestions; will do some more looking
Try these guys print-my-pdf.com I used them last year to print out an obsolete engine manual for my dad and they did great. I didn't use one of the binding options as he wanted it in a ring binder but they might be what you're looking for.

For a small amount of pages like that, I'd just print it myself and get it hardback bound. For example, http://www.chesterbookbinders.co.uk
We've used Blurb for several photo books of holidays. Very happy with the quality, and you can do as many text boxes as you like, would be easy to do a whole book of text if needed.
