What is the best way to print a hardcover book?

I would like to print one copy of a book, somewhere between 800-1000 pages (so 400-500 pages with printing on both sides), and at least 8.5 x 11 pages but possibly larger.

What is the best way to go about this? Office printing shops are suggesting prohibitive prices like $500 to do one book.

Is there a more reasonable way to go about this?
