A friend who owns a manufacturing company has asked me to quote him on a calendar with my images to use as a Christmas present for his customers. I figure it will be a fairly small run of 50-100. Any suggestions on who to approach to print it and how to price it out?

Depending on what you think the value of your images are, and if photography is not really a business for you,
you could just double the price of the printing costs, plus add a good number of copies for yourself to give away, or sell. That small of a run will not be worth all that much anyway, but you could get a lot of copies to promote your images other places. In this case I would rather get the promotion copys from it than expect a big check that you probably wouldn't get anyway.
