How long does it take a company to print ONE copy of a book? -

This is asked out of total curiosity. How long would it take a publishing company to publish ONE copy of a book. I m not too specific about page amounts or anything, so just choose a page number and tell me how long. I m mostly curious about page numbers 300-500, but give me any number you wish as long as you re pretty confident with the time you give with it. Thanks!!

This question is ambiguous. On the one hand you talk about printing a book. On the other you talk about publishing it. Those are two completely different processes. In terms of printing it is done on a batch basis (so many copies at a time) so isolating how long a single copy takes is not trivial.

I can speak from experience. Generally approx 2 weeks to print and reach you via mail. They could do it overnight, technically, but they generally schedule for approx 2 weeks. I ve published two books this way and have been very pleased. Of course, you must first create the print-ready copy.

It can be done in 48 hours http://www.48hrbooks.com/

Not long at all, a day or two!
