I'm sorry if nobody told you, but you're going to have to read this first.

"The Essential Turing" is also worth a read.

It contains much of Turing's important work plus explanatory material - enough to make it comprehensible to the interested general reader. Lots of the concepts were new to me but I still found it very interesting.

The Annotated Turing is fantastic! Also check out Turing's Cathedral for some insight into how his 1936 paper influenced computing into the next few decades and The Essential Turing to read Turing in his own words.

For a look at how Turing influenced information theory (and a fascinating general introduction to its history), check out The Information.

The Annotated Turing mentions Church published his paper first, but Turing's approach was so different that he published his results anyway


EDIT: aha! here it is:
>Church had independently proposed a
different way of replacing talk about systematic methods with formally precise
language (in a lecture given in April of that year and published in 1936). Turing
learned of Church’s work in the spring of 1936, just as ‘On Computable
Numbers’ was nearing completion.

EDIT 2: this quote isn't from The Annotated Turing, but from The Essential Turing

Have you tried the print shop at the university? they are used to binding dissertations for people and have some nice options (at least at my local one) .....in that general vein its a printing service you want, not a publisher , so try local print and copy shops ....ones with digital printing are better for short run things and one offs. Most of these places wont care what you are printing , they might ask you to sign a box saying you have the right to print, but that's as far as it goes.

Also seems like there are a few books available of his work:
