following from satisfied scrapper
| Quote: | As for a hardbound book option, I highly recommend blurb.com. You can print a 24-40 (I think) page book for only $24.95 (or pretty close to that - I'm not looking at the website right now) - $18.95 for soft cover. I recently created a hardbound book through Blurb for my husband's grandparents' 70th anniversary celebration. It was 76 pages for $34.95. I absolutely love it. And I linked our family to the site so they could all purchase their own copies. You can create books up to 440 pages for only $79.95. You can create digital pages and upload or use their book building software and create a cool hardbound bookstore quality item.
Hope this helps.

I'm currently working on a bound book and going through blurb .com to have it done.
I decided it was time to start and in time finish Rohan's book, I'm giving www.blurb.com a go for publishing the book as they are widely used by alot of proffessional photographers and smaller book publishers, very reasonably priced to. I hope you enjoy following along with the process of my making this .
At first I thought I'm going to do all four of my boys at once but have since decided that it would be good for me to do one at a time and set myself smaller more achievable goals as that method helps me to overcome procrastination 
This is a small preview of the dust jacket for my book of Rohan, yes blurb have dust jackets on the hardcover books- woohoo!
Well I better get back to filling up my pages and going through my large collection of photos to try and work out which ones I must have in his book, no easy task I must say.

I got the 8x10 softcover. Print-quality wise I would say it's fair, though it's kind of hard to tell. The pictures on the cover aren't great, and all the pictures inside are tiny thumbnails and too small to judge anyway.
I wasn't sure if there was a gutter allowance built into the template. There isn't. My inside photos are very nearly vanishing into the gutter. I'll know what to do about that next time. Overall, I'm pleased--as a printed record of contact sheets, it's perfectly adequate.
Now I just need to do more with these photos, besides just cataloging them. |
