Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. After I transcribed about 400 pages of poems, I was able, with his permission, to pare it down to about 315 by combining two poems on one page.

I went with him to FedEx/Kinko's where he wanted to print out the whole 315 pages, printed double-sided, with spiral binding. I asked the Kinko's guy if he could just print it twice on one page, which was a simple task for him.

As it came out, instead of printing the whole 8.5 x 11 book for $95, my friend got TWO 8.5 x 5.5 booklets and is very pleased. Thank you again.
