Can you include the link, please? Your google-fu must be stronger than mine.

I found more than one ... this one was still up on my browser. Look for "booklet" rather than pamplet. Pamphlets are generally single folded pages.

Ah. Well, I need 16 pages total (which can be cover + 12 if I can print the inside cover) and that worked out here to around $2K/10,000 with saddle stitching (staple in the middle); I'm not sure if that ends up lying flat in large stacks.

Another suggestion ... design it as a tri-fold 11X17 page. 10,000 four colour glossy paper for about $1100 online. This format "stacks very nicely. Again, should be cheaper locally.

The current presentation uses 16 A6 pages ie 0.25 m^2 of page area, so that's about the same area as both sides of one 11x17 page. From that link, the lowest I can get the price for a run of 10,000 is about 17.5ยข each; colour on the outside is mandatory, and on the inside is free.

Today's fun fact I did not know: it's not about the same area it's exactly the same area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216#A_series

But the whole point of this operation is (mostly) to get a flat binding.
