I have been requested by a client to make a photo book of some of her photos I shot. I know there are many site out there that do this sort of thing, but what have you all used?

I get 20% Blurb due to the fact that I am a Zenfolio customer. Have any of you used them?
I have also been looking at mpixpro's website. I have used them in the past with great results, but the 20% off is tempting.

I just want to make sure whatever site I use is going to produce a quality, professional product.

Thoughts?

Have used Blurb with excellent results, but upgraded on paper used. Was very happy with the books.

I recently went to a photobook exhibition where all the books had been produced by Blurb. The quality was excellent, very professional.

As to Blurb, POTN uses it for the annual book, so that's a recommendation!

Adoramapix has had a good rep as well.

I've made two books with Blurb & am happy with the price vs. quality. Be aware that they've upgraded their software, paper, & cover options several times since these threads:
See my post #13. I want to make a book but...

Mypublisher.com ---> For me the best for the money
Adoramapix.com ---> Paper quality is fenomenal
Asukabooks.com ---> Expensive but one of the most spectacular print production out there!

Hmmm. Looks like I will give Blurb a try.

Thanks for the suggestions!
