MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
how many of you chaps have used blurb for getting photobooks made up?
those of you who have, any observations as to the quality and the like?
i know rocketdog and a couple of others have used them...
i got one done and was very impressed. I got hardback with the best paper and it was still very good price. Delivery was only about a week too. I will defo use again without question.
I might do one for my 2010 365 project. Not have every single photo, just a few choice highlights from each month.
Aye - very good but customer service sucks big dogs' cox. Just make sure you go for the expensive (middle) postage option (not the super-pricey next day courier though!). This means you get a tracking number so when they lose your book you'll have a leg to stand on. They've denied all knowledge of two of mine now, claiming I had received them and was trying to pull a fast one... Grrr!
But yes, other than that, very good.
Planning one of these myself at the end of the 365 project.
Can you create it automatically from a Flickr set?

Software is ok to use though slow on my (old ish) computer. Allows a decent amount of control over your books.
Book quality is good.
Print/image quality is ok. Not photo paper good, but ok. I did admittedly blow some grainy 10 mp photos up 10 13x11 inch though!
Yep it's well worth it, but haven't I replied already on our photo a day pool? [spottheplug]

I've used them, cheap for the quality and good software. Recommended as far as I'm concerned.
