I've clearly let this languish for too long, as I suddenly need more 
information.  A 2 week lead time sounds good to me, but I'm concerned 
about page limits.  I expect between 50 and 100 pages, and would be a 
bit choked with less for the price attendees are paying.  It looks as 
though we still have no quote on this amount of printing.  For my 
purposes, I want to be able to tell workshop instructors on Monday what 
is expected of them, ie. an acceptable number of pages and delivery 
timeline.  Does anyone think 50-100 pages, comb bound (cheapest and will 
lie flat) is appropriate?

I have an OfficeWorks price list in front of me, listed as valid until 
the end of the year, which puts black and white copies at 6c each 
between 501-3000 copies, colour at 75c each over 501, comb binding for 
up to 100 pages at $1.95.  This would put 580 B&W books in the range of 
$2871-4611, or $9-16 per delegate, though there will be some additional 
costs for downloading documents and covers and such.
