I've just bought a 68 page pdf from wargames vault as the book is no longer in print, does anyone happen to know of a place that will print this off for me for my own personal use? (UK and cheap as chips ideally!)

You should be able to print a pdf from just about any printer. You just need a pdf reader (free to download), on a PC attached to a printer. if you can read it you can print it.

Having looked at the site £3.06  for 68 pages printed double sided including P&P is probably worth it in my opinion. An extra £2 for getting it spiral bound is something I would consider as well

That's a very good price, I'll have to remember that one myself.  If you're in a rush for it, your local Staples have a printing service as well, you can either email them the file or take it in on a memory stick.  It'll cost a bit more than the Dox service though.

@fsn I could print it myself as I do own a printer but I would pretty much use an entire ink cartridge to do so which would cost about 15 quid to replace so  for £3.06 I think it's worth it! Thanks to Ferb for the heads up!

The £3 is only for B&W, for colour it leaps up to £15

Hi

I use Doxdirect all the time for work, and have had a few rule sets printed as well. Always been good quality and quick, at a great price.......highly recommended.

Cheers,

You can also use lulu.com (pricey but quality is top notch) OR (my tip) if you have a uni or college nearby there should be plenty of printshops.

Ryman is pretty good, too.

Do these recomendations actually print copyrighted material?

I tried to get some stuff done at my Local Staples and they would not print anything in PDF that had an ISBN number or copyright notice on it.  Despite my having a "confirmation of order" email.

I would be very interested in any that do
