Got mine bound in Staples this morning. Cost me £12.50 in total for two copies to be bound and laminated, I had printed it myself at home.

check if you have any special requirements (like name down spine) - been stung by that - the only place that did it was the library with a hefty fee and large queue!

Mine was 15,000 over 52 pages. Mainly because it was a report about project work I had completed over the year so needed to include screenshots and code etc.

They did it in about 15 mins for me. Only issue I had was they were short staffed so they were a bit reluctant to do it for me straight away, as they had to close the till to open the print and copy bit up.
