Anyone have experience with albums/coffee table books?

The market here in the Mississippi Delta is very weak and I need a source for a nice album in the $100 price range (my cost) that will have about 75 pages and hold 200 photos. This will be mainly for weddings. I appreciate your time to help here.

It's going to be tough to findly high quality at that price for that many pages. I use Asuka Book quite often and am very happy with their quality... but it's going to run you more than $100.

Wow, nothing that I know of will provide a good quality book for that price.

You could look up several budget people, but I'm not sure I'd use them for wedding stuff, but they could possibly meet your needs.

Those are pretty much the only ones I can think of at the moment of stuff that may fit you better. Out of all of these, Mpix is pretty good, and they do nice prints for me.

I use two different wedding album companies, Asukabook and Graphistudio, depending on which package my brides pick. Asuka does fine work, and Graphistudio is amazing, but requires you to trust them in their album creation and pp.

Snyper77, I have used WHCC's press printed books and they appear pretty nice for what they are. A low end coffetable book. I have had two brides order them and both were very pleased. However, both of mine were the 10X12 landscape book, (or something about that size) 22- 24 sides, Photo cover and I had the pages UV coated. Basically got nearly everything they offer and the books ran about $70-$75. I have also used Mpix for one of there and I like the WHCC book better.

Not sure you are going to able to find anything with that many page in your price range and get any kind of quality. I am wanting to try Asuka, but just havent gotten around to it yet. I need a sample album badly. Good Luck

I've done two using Mpix and was happy with them. I haven't used anyone else for this so I can't compare results.
