Where can I bind about 350 pages into book form?
I printed off an e-book and would like to bind it like a book (avoiding spiral or cerlox binding). It's over 300 pages (5.5"X8.5"). Does anyone know where in the GTA (preferably avoiding the downtown area) I can get this done for a reasonable price? I have checked both Office Depot and Kinkos, and they only can do that many pages with cerlox.

Well, as close to a real book as possible. I don't mind that kind that looks like a piece of black tape.

If you want it bound as a real book, most places need a minimum order to do it (like 500 books or something). This is because it is a lot of effort to set up their machines for this.
However, you should be able to get it spiraled pretty cheaply.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will just get it cerlox bound instead.

Don't give up that easily.
Ask about "perfect binding" at any Kinko's or similar shop. They should have something they can do for you, and it doesn't require 500 copies.
See any local photocopy place or look them up in the yellow pages and see what else is listed. If you're in university (or near one) check the university print service, as they perform this function all the time.

I think Staples also offers a similar service... check it out

Thanks for the tip. I did ask Kinkos, but perhaps they didn't realize that I was referring to "perfect binding". I'll try again (and also Staples). Also, I'm not too far from York sometimes so I'll check there too; does anyone know where their print services place is?

Central Square, north of the library entrance, next to the cafeteria, beside the automatic banking machines.

Thanks. Just to confirm, it would be building 27 on this map, right?
