Have you ever gotten a book custom printed?
The services I've found so far (at least in my country, might have to order internationally) are aimed at authors looking to get their shit printed.
All I want is a custom version of a public domain book that will fit in my shirt pocket.
Has anyone made any positive experiences with any service?

Blurb is known to be great for authors, no idea if it will suit you.

Which book are you talking about?

That's the point though, I'm not the author.
I want my own little red book equivalent of Also sprach Zarathustra, just for the sake of it tbqh.

Also might consider getting some others if it works out well.

Ok so I looked into Blurb, smallest they will do is 5x8 inch, which is too big.
A6 would be ideal, really.

Thanks I will look into it.

Just a thought, but it could be fun to do it yourself? Most printers have some kind of booklet printing option. You'd probably have to decide on a number of signatures, the material to sew the signatures together, the paper of the cover, and the glue, but overall it doesn't seem super challenging.

That's actually a neat idea. I'd want to try it out with something shorter first though. Doesn't look too hard from the guides I've googled but I wonder how nice it'd come out.
