I was able to send a pdf file to an email address assigned to a Kinko's store (US printing chain). They were able to have it printed 2-sided with a spiral binding and clear plastic covers. This is one way. The other way is to use the new technology called print-on-demand. Also, pdf is the way to go. Go to lulu.com. There are details on the process and the cost for print real books.
