Chris,
I actually held one of the Italian wedding books in 16X20.  A young lass
from Britain was trying to come over the pond.  Beautiful images beautifully
printed and bound.  She told me her cost was something like 5000 quid.  As
to the price I don't know if my chain was being pulled but she had talent
and chose a wonderful source for her demo book.
