Not decided yet but did a small hardback cover photo book with Mixbooks and was very impressed with the quality. Not cheap ($30-40 each) but they do have fairly regular sales so I will probably wait for one of those to order (they currently have an up to 40% off deal running). Dan Marchant

This. As soon as I had sent the images for my books I happened to shoot a few images I would have liked included. Ah well.

If the crowd runs after the false, it must neglect the true.' —Arthur Machen

Tend to agree. A book needs to go to the ultimate decision maker rather than the person who makes the initial recommendation. You want the ultimate decision maker to be asking those below them "why aren't we working with this guy?". It's harder for the sales guys to reject someone if their boss is already keen. Dan Marchant
