It's not the print shop _per_se_ that needs to be .dvi aware, but
a service bureau. You have a couple of choices:

1. Find one of the printers/publishers that is .dvi aware.

2. Find someone who can print a .dvi file to a high-resolution
	printer, and take the output to any one of a number
	of small-run printers. (Me, for example :)

3. Use dvips to create a postscript file that can be set at a
	local service bureau, then proceed as step 2.

This assumes that 300dpi output isn't good enough.

If you don't actually have a problem with output (you can 
get it into hardcopy), then all you need is a printer.
Go to your nearby library, and look in Literary Marketplace
(LMP), from Bowker's. This will guide you to a plethora
of printers, many of which are set up for runs of books
as few as 10 or less.
