[wellylug] Scanning, storing, & publishing a 320 page document ..

[John Fouhy]

When I printed my M.Sc thesis, I:

 1. Created a pdf (using LaTeX)
 2. Put it on a USB thumb drive and took it down to a printing company
in town (UltraPrint, I think they were called) and got several copies
printed.
 3. Took the printed copy up to a bookbinding company in Karori and
got the copies bound.

I got the binding company from Vic Uni; they maintained a list of a
half-dozen in Wellington that you can use.  I went to Karori because
it was close to my house, but had no problems with them: they print
plenty of VUW theses, so they know the right style to use.  If you're
printing for a different library, you might need to talk to them.
