As expensive as textbooks are, you would find that the costs of local
laser printing, photocopying and binding in small quantities might well
approach the costs of the real books, and you would get 8.5 by 11 books
with lousy binding that don't sit on your shelf well.

You would pay a little bit less money, but you would be paying it all to
photocopying & binding firms rather than authors and publishers.  Is
this what you want?
