Custom printing portfolio books

A recent post in the macro section started my thinking about putting some of my own work into nice portfolio books.

I looked at blurb.com and they seem pretty good. Has anyone else tried some of those services to get softcover or hardcover books done? Any advice or ideas on which companies I should look at?

Thanks.

I havn't done this yet but it's something I'd like to try some day. Here's a few of the links I have;

I use MPIX for all my prints. They have just started printing books, both hard and soft cover. I have yet to order one but they are getting good reviews on the MPIX forum. Hope this helps.

MPIX looked really nice, too bad they only ship to the US and Canada...

Wow, and MPIX also has enlargements on metallic paper. I haven't seen that available since I was living in Argentina. I have not found a single place in Ottawa that works with metallic paper.
