    The photography forum here have used Shakespeare for the last two years for the annual photobook. Quality and service A1!

    Just looking at them now (After having seen this thread).

    Do they only offer three different covers for A4 books?

    Black or gret with photo, or wraparound photo? I've been planning to use photobox for a book I've to make in a short while for a customer. Photobox have lots of options and allow you to change things, their quality is good and they're priced competitively, but they're also very well known too, so their books may be very recognisable (which is a downside for me).

    Do shakespeare offer more variety or such after you've downloaded their software, or is that all they do?


    EDIT: Also, does anyone know of any other decent (reputable) photobook-making sites?

    I'm waiting on an order of a couple of photobooks from photobox.ie so I'll let you know how they turn out. I've had a flick through a Blurb photobook as well and I was very impressed.

    +1 for Shakespeare as well, the 2011 Boards photobook is fantastic.

    I've two A3 books from Photobox and they're excellent quality. The hard-cover isn't exactly gonna overwhelm anyone though. Nice and professional but doesn't scream "high end" at all. Though their "premium photobook" looks top notch and well priced.



    Loxley look like they'd blow the bollocks off you*.

    Really geared towards weddings, but they look like the real McCoy. Will definitely look into them in future (though Im gonna get that premium photobox book first to see how it looks in reality).



    *I'm aware that may sound fairly crude, especially for 9am, but it made me laugh so...
