How can I get a small book/booklet properly printed and bound ?

[Dave7]

As per title.
I have written a condensed version of my memoirs.
Out of interest, I am 78 and was brought up in 50/60s Merseyside. Hence, I went through post war, the Merseysound (Cavern etc) and saw the 'good days' start.
The book is really for my grandchildren plus a few other of the young generation so it finishes around the 70s when they popped into the world.
Content........
It will only be approx 16-18 pages (normal book size) but I want it to look good ie not completely amateur.

Does anyone on CC have decent suggestions ?
Thanks.

Publish it on Amazon - it costs you nothing.

As well as a download you get the option to make it available in hardback or softback, both options relatively inexpensive and only produced when someone orders it.

If you do that I'll buy a copy.

I have a colleague whose husband could do it.

High end book binder.

Not cheap though.

Well, if I bounced it off him then he could give me a couple of ideas and prices so I am up for that.
Will you put the general idea to him and ask eg if he wants me to email him ?
You can pm me if you wish.
Thanks.

Would spiral binding suffice?
Old school accountancy practices used to use/might still use binding machines for their clients accounts.

Essentially they use a posh hole puncher machine like this https://amzn.eu/d/fJVztVD
