Hi. I'm planning on using blurb.com to make a photo book. And I know you guys used for the photography yearbook. I just have one question, the B/W Text book, does that only print black and white photographs?

Thoie

I'd say so.

From the site:
All prices are for 4-color covers, with black and white interior pages printed on 60-pound text paper.

That's on the pricing page. I'm considering putting together a cookbook of family recipes at some stage - mainly to have a copy for myself, rather than scraps of paper all over the place, but would also give a copy to my sister and cousins if I felt like it. Let me know how the text one goes if you do it?

Its only a text book.. So that won't work.. I'm looking to do a photo book, 120pages, 300 copies.. Were would be the cheapest place to do that?

Thoie

To be honest Blurb are looking the cheapest at €23-€35 per book with a 15% discount for 300 in a single order.

Aldi and the likes don't do that many pages, myphotobook.ie is €50-€70 per book with a 5% discount for 300.

If you're paying for the 300 up front and then selling them on, you might contact some existing normal publishers and ask them about costs for a small printrun.

Isar

is there anywere cheaper?

Thoie

Not that I've found on google that doesn't involve sleeping with the printer, sorry.
