#MYPUBLISHER UPDATE#

I teach photography courses and received questions about these books from students, so I made sample books in order to show the differences. I've done books with iPhoto, My Publisher, Shutterfly and Blurb. There was a discussion of this topic several months ago on the Europe forum. You can look at their forum for other ideas, but most of what is there is mediocre at best (great trips I'm sure but page designers not). The second did not (requires photo shop or other design program and more work). I looked thru the mypublisher forum (not recently) and below are two of the best Africa or travel books I have seen. A good layout will give you a great book.

If you have quality digital images MyPublisher is great. Would not use Blurb where I wanted to use full page scenics and animal shots, thus am working on a 2 volume book with mypublisher for our Africa trip. I have not made my own Blurb book, but ordered a sample they sell to look at the quality, which I don't think is as good as MyPublisher.

Also true that Blurb is cheaper, you can put many more pages in a book (mypublisher limited to 100 sides unless that has changed with a software update recently released), but the largest Blurb page size is quite a bit smaller. As commented above, they are a professional quality, easy to use, there are several options for using text, and potentially more if you do your own page design. Have used MyPublisher on several books including travel and wedding and the quality on the large size (11x15 or so) is outstanding.
