Tell me about the sites you've used for it and why. I love the way that looks, and I've used it several times since.īlurb Book CONS: Not super intuitive to use, pricey.īlurb Book PROS: Tons of photo and text options, Image wrapped cover. This baby book made by the guests of my baby shower is an example of the image wrapped cover. They do offer an auto-flow option, where it arranges the photos in the book for you based on date or the order they're already in.Īnother amazing bonus of blurb for bloggers: They can make a book of your blog! It automatically flows in your posts and pictures, which is a really great feature. They have tons of photo and text layouts to choose from, which is great if you want something very specific, but can be overwhelming if you just want something simple. Their hardcover books (from a certain size and up) can be made with a dust jacket or with an image wrap, where the image is printed directly onto the cover. It's not incredibly difficult, but it's not as easy as the iPhoto books. If nothing else, I think you can get 20 off by ordering your MyPublisher. IPhoto book PROS: So easy to work with, quality covers and paper.īlurb books are also of very good quality (and they even let you pick the weight of the paper) but it takes a steeper learning curve to make them look exactly how you want. So if I dont need a book right away I can just save it until they send a promotion. IPhoto book CONS: Dust covers only for hardcover books, very few templates or styles to choose from. Since it's SO easy to do right on my laptop, I can usually churn these out before my guests have even made it to the airport. The smaller soft covers are reasonably priced and make a great memento. I like to do a smaller size soft cover for specific events (like the girls weekend in the above pictures) and then order one for everyone in attendance. This paper is higher quality than a magazine, but a similar idea. If you're trying to document a whole time period, like I am in the book above, the lack of templates makes the book a little repetitive. There are only so many pictures to go in the book anyway. If you're documenting one specific event, it's usually not a problem. ![]() There are a limited number of page layouts for the iPhoto books. Currently in iPhoto, there is no option to print an image directly onto the cover. The hardcover photo books come with a dust jacket, which gives you a little extra space to play on the flaps, but dust jackets can be kind of annoying. It's extremely user friendly, drag and drop the pictures, press order, you're done. If you're using iPhoto to organize your pictures anyway, there's almost nothing easier than making a book with this program.
