You can try self-publishing websites like www.lulu.com or www.createspace.com. These sites allow you to upload our files, and they'll print it for you. Check out their pricing on the sites themselves.
Get a copy of a book called The Writers' Market. It's available through any bookstore, and many libraries have it as well. It lists publishers and agents for all types of books. You need to look through it and find publishers and/or agents who want your type of book (romance, science fiction, biography, whatever). Then you need to follow the submission guidelines for that publisher or agent. Everyone has their own guidelines. Then you need to wait and see if anyone wants your book. Good luck.
Put summary on the net and see how many hit you get and than give this to the publisher and they will figure if they can publish
