I've got a few people who need some photobooks printing.

Needs to be double sided, 297 x 297 mm, approx 100 sheets.

Any advice on where I could get paper suitable for a large format printer or A3 printer to do myself or alternatively a website I could submit the files to get get them printed and bound aswell?

Time is of the essence on this as the finished articles must be with me in the next 2 weeks.

I seem to remember a stumbling across a site that will print books on demand for things like this, but I can't remember what it is or how cost effective. Anyone got any ideas, recommendations or suggestion?

Thanks!
 
Why exactly 297mm square, as most books that size are either 300mm or 12" square? I've never used them, but you might have a look at www.fotoboox.com. They appear to do a 297mm square photo book with up to 60 pages, which should give 120 sides (I think) and claim a turnaround of 5 to 7 days.

297mm is the short side of an A3 piece of paper (or the long side of an A4) so you could print it on A3 and trim down. But why do you need exactly that size?

There are plenty of online services that produce photobooks at varying costs - I have used Snapfish, they were cheap and cheerful.
 
Cheers for the info guys, and yeah it's a bit of a weird size, the long side of an A4 sheet or the short side of an A3 sheet. I thought about the manual trimming, but it isn't really an option as it will be too laborious for multiple books. Doing some more investigating now to see if 300 x 300 or a 12x12" book would work!
 
I used Smapfish back in January and was very impressed by the finished article, the price, and also the quick turnaround. I'll definitely be using them again.
