If you are offset-printing books, 600dpi is probably not good enough. But I never print books. Any printer that would offset books from my work almost certainly would do it from a PDF. FWIW: the only situation I can spot the difference is on hairpins.
I did not consider ink jet printers. They are far too slow. There is a Brother inkjet that will actually feed 13" wide sheets, but each page takes several minutes.
