I put the book together with the supplied software, had a hard back book with wrap and stayed at 20 pages. I used them because I had a coupon from the Rocky Mountain School of Photography weekend course that I attended. I saved $15 dollars on my order.Īnd I agree with Greg Feldman that the best photobooks are made by Asuka, but they work only with pros (you need to have a photo business registered) I've used a Blurb for one of my projects and was very happy with them, mostly because of the price.
MYPUBLISHER PHOTOBOOKS PROFESSIONAL
The photo books they make at target look nicer and more professional and those are by shutterfly and I think kodak. It just looks cheap, probably because it is.
MYPUBLISHER PHOTOBOOKS SOFTWARE
I also think their software is among the easiest to use.Īfter seeing what else is out there, I am not impressed with the covers of the blurb books, the pages are nice, but not the cover. I did a 7x7 soft cover and it was fine, and my latest was the wrap hard cover and it was better than the slip cover IMO. The slip covers were nicely printed, but not the best fit. The first 2 were done before the wrap cover was available, only the slip cover. I agree with others, that the quality is ok for the price. I select the option with all blank pages and cover, then construct the pages/cover in elements. I haven't used their templates for any of them. I think I'm gonna try Blurb's new hardback that starts at 59.00 or something and see how it looks.
I have used Mpix before and the book was good. Hardbound, printed cover, upgraded paper, 5x7, about $43 with shipping. I was pleased with the quality for the price. I used Blurb for a 40 page book for a school project. I'm doing a 7"x7" square book, and Blurb tells me they will be $12.95 per book, which isn't that bad for about thirty pages of color portraits.Īsuka was around 40 bucks for the same style/content. I'm actually in the middle of putting together a Blurb book to mail out to various magazines in my area as a way to introduce my work and see if there is any interest. The only company I've used so far was Asuka Book for a personal collection of work by me for display at my studio. You will be able to include a link to any book you have created. Two such books are being offered as prizes in a photo book sweepstakes where you receive entries for writing a review of a photo book you have created. What I've noticed is that these publishers are starting to offer a higher quality photo book that has much thicker pages. I've been reviewing the software for photo books that are geared to the average consumer - not the discerning photographer. (They are also about eight times as expensive as the others, but that was the question in the title.) The best photo book publisher is Asuka Books. I did a long while ago Apple books and the quality was great The main reason why, without any experience I used Blurb was because they had the biggest book of all the publishers. They look, IMHO, like they were printed with a very good "office" ink jet printer. Bear in mind that the prints are not glossy. I am just "ok" with the options to change lay outs and I am also "ok" with the resolution. I like the quality of the cover and the paper. I am really happy with having a book, the end product is quite different from having a couple of pics printed, regardless of the size. I have used Blurb for my first and only book ( )and I am relatively happy.but was wondering the same question before printing the next one! I have two book projects that I want to finish and would really appreciate your advice. What did the final book look like in terms of paper quality, cover quality, photo quality and resolution? Which offered the best options for layout and design? If you had a problem, was customer service easy to deal with?
I am looking for feedback from people who have published photo books using sites such as Mypublisher, viovio, blurb, et al. Best photo book publisher? MyPublisher? Viovio? Blurb?.
