Have heard of other people doing that, and I think some have been successful - but not sure how many.
Also, unless times and technolgy have changed things, the most expensive part of a printing process is/used to be preparation and set up. Once you've paid that end of it the actual printing side is comparatively very cheap. Might be worth checking how much extra over 100 copies, say, 200, 500 or even 1,000 would cost - might open up a few more marketing avenues than the one you are contemplating if you have enough stock to feed other methods
At the end of the day devise yourself a battle plan, don't rely too heavily on any one method, but be sure you exploit thoroughly each method you do choose to use. The short story (even serial) approach is a good one to take to a magazine, and ten serial episodes could represent a book - think that was Dickens pathway to fame.
Keep trying whatever!
