I have recently used SharedInk.com and liked the quality, paper 
choices, and binding choices. It is definitely not cheap however.  The 
offer a "Photographer's Only" program that promises a higher level of 
service as well as greater array of binding, formats, paper choices.  I 
published a book of b&w photography and while there is a very slight 
color cast (cyan) to the photos (I opted to use color versus black only)
in certain light, I'm still very happy with the quality.  53pages 
(front & back printing), linen cover with cover photo, full bleed and 
delux end paper = $80/book.  My mother cried when I gave it to her so 
that was worth it. 

You can get a free trial of the photographer only program (it is 
otherwise a one-time fee of $249) and you can publish a book that way 
to see if it is worth it to you.  

The use a HP Indigo printer.
