Good Photo book makers and suitable book size

[jeyaganesh]

Hello, I have Canon EOS 400D/Rebel XTi. I would like to make a photo book with my photographs. Most people suggests Blurb for making photo book. In UK some people suggests myphotobook.co.uk.

I read Blurb printed photos are look dark and their binding quality is not so good. One Blurb customer mentioned that papers were came out of his photo book.

Ok, my next question is, what would be the suitable book size for my 10.1 mega pixel EOS 400D photos?

This photobook is only for my family purpose.:)

All suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Jay

Hi Jay,

If you have a Mac, or one of your friends has a Mac, you also have access to Apple's printing service through iPhoto. I've found their books to be of very good quality with their recent updates.

Otherwise you might look at www.mypublisher.com -- I found that one through the Blurb forums as a suggestion from other people not satisfied. I've not used them as I'm satisfied with Apple.

In regards to book size, your 400D can make any size book that these companies will print; no worries about your file size as long as you don't do very heavy cropping.

Hi TheHoff,
Thank you very much for your suggestion. Yes, I have a Macbook Pro. I will have a look at Apple photo book. :)

I'm quite pleased with them; and if you have an AppleID or iTunes account, you won't even need to punch in your credit card. Apple makes it so easy to do that :D

If you use Aperture, you can create them in there or iPhoto works for me since I use Lightroom to process.

Hi TheHoff,
Do you know whether Apple supports other languages for photo book? I could able type in my mother language in iphoto. There is a unsolved thread in 'apple discussion forum' about this matter. I am going to contact apple to know the answer.
