Hi all,

Making a photo book for my dad's birthday (I know...)

Will have 60-80 pictures, which will be edited/tweaked before hand, so won't need any modifying other than size/crop.

Who is best to use to design and print the book? I did one on Bonus print years ago which was fairly painless, anyone better, or decent deals out there?

Thanks,

Duane.

I used Photobox a few years back, I wouldn't say it was painless (the website was a bit shonky back then), but the results were excellent. My ol' mum makes calendars every year using them, so it must be pretty easy now 😉

Noticed they are almost half price at the mo, so worth a look.

We've had a couple done by Snapfish and been very happy with them.  Keep an eye out for the promotions, which they seem to run continuously.

I use Blurb.com. Bit pricy but good results. Be sure to wait until til they have a promotion - very frequent and generally at least 30% off

I went to my local BIG Boots that has a photo lab and did one there on those photo kiosks. Had it in the hour.

I use Bob Books for special occasion books, they’re not the cheapest but they do open flat books which means you don’t lose anything in the spine and can therefore have a full page spread. As per everyone else they frequently have deals on.

They also have their own design software which is very good.
