Depending on your location, you may be best off finding a local print shop, preferably one near some campus; these have very low prices on printing in bulk, and offer binding services in very reasonable prices - services like thermal binding cost very little and scale well with size of the book. You save up on the shipping costs (which, in case of ~200 books may contribute quite a bit). You are not getting entirely "publisher quality" product, but still something you can show or gift without shame.

That solution doesn't really scale well - 200 is possibly already above the "break even" margin of other suggested solutions; for 400 you're sure to get a better deal on a dedicated printers' service. But if you're in a market for 25 or 50 copies, you'll most likely come out ahead of these.

Note, the referred "thermal binding" is fine for novels, books you read up to a dozen times or open three times a year. It's not good for references, textbooks and other "heavy use" applications - after being open 30 times on the same page the book starts coming apart.
