I have to promote the Blurb bookmaking website. Yesterday I received my book I made for Jonathan and it turned out pretty great (but not as great as his reaction to it.. but that is just for me).
So for all you photographers, writers, gift-givers, or people with something useful to say or show that you might want to archive in a useful fashion, give the site a go. Just download the free BookSmart program for Mac or PC. It's relatively easy to use for page layouts and if you don't like their layout choices you can set up your own in another program and import it as a jpeg. I have found a few bugs, but working around them isn't too bad, especially because this bookmaking service is supposed to be one of the cheapest ones out there.
Once your book is complete you can send it to be produced directly from BookSmart. They say it takes 5-6 days to produce and 2 days to ship. I ordered mine on a Friday and it came in about 10 days (8 business days). If you want you can also sell your books from the blurb website.
I'm certainly using the service for a wedding photos album.. and possibly for all future photo albums, as all that digital photography really needs a place to rest. I think it would stand the test of time better than an album with printed photos in it, too.
Don't you love discovering useful things?
(Yes).
I can't wait to start organizing my digital memories in creative booklike ways. The site I use for my business is also good. I'd like to see the quality of the one you made though.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you posted that site. I want to make a book for Tom sometime (good thing he doesn't read this... ha).
