I'm confused why you would have to order 25. When I was looking at the site for information on my portfolio I didn't get any impression that you'd have to order more than one copy but maybe I misunderstood how it works.
Another idea you might think about is looking into local printers in your own area if you're thinking about setting it up as an actual fanzine. Though I don't know if they could have it bound like an actual book the way Lulu does. When I printed my portfolio they said they didn't have the capability to bound it like that so i went with a spiral bound instead. However other printers might have that ... But I didn't have to buy multiple copies either - just the one. (Just to give you a reference though - it cost me about $40 bucks and is 16 pages. Mind you it's on heavy card stock (and in full color)( because it's a professional portfolio I use to get freelance and on job interviews. If you use regular paper it wouldn't cost as much. )
