Was it a quality product when you received it? I have seen some(from other vendors) where you can see glue and things on the front and back cover. This is for a couple of people who are very special to me and I need to knock it out of the park. I am thinking about shutterfly. Thanks.

6. Yes, it was very nice. I didn't spot any goofs.

I made them for my granddaughter's first year and gave them for gifts. People wanted to know how I made them! LOL

I'm a beginner at such projects, and it wasn't hard for me to create. I made small hard-back books. Can't remember what they cost, but I am always getting emails for special offers from Shutterfly.

Good luck!

The quality is top notch, but their user interface sucks in my opinion.

5. Also, I once used Blurb. It was a pretty easy process with good results.

This was for a friend. I laid out a story of his family's history for him in Indesign. Words, stories, and pictures.

Create an account and they might send you a coupon. I get offers from them so much, that I had to get off of their email mailing list (one click, don't worry).

7. I have used A&I in LA and Adorama both and have had great results.

I think A&I might be a little less costly. My photo books are hard bound, lay flat 12x12 and 100 pages is around $150. You download their s/w and do it on your computer then upload to them. Very easy.

Adorama is web based and is also very easy to use.
