Ordering Photo books online

dan185

Hi

Hope this is the right forum, have read the charter and can presume it is, apologies if not!

I want to get a photobook for someone for christmas. It'll have about 100 photos or so. I want it to be decent quality but also affordable. I also want to completely customise the layout of the book, multiple pictures per page, some text, etc.

Has anyone got experience with any companies online? Any discount codes etc or cheaper places to order from?

Thanks in advance!:)

I've only ever used blurb.com and the quality was excellent. Then again I ungraded the paper etc at time of ordering.

yes, at this stage it will be fine for Christmas.

Also, highly recommend Shakespeare books in Waterford. They've done a few of the annual boards books. Prices /delivery as per their web site. Quality very good. I probably prefer them to blurb.

I've also used lulu which is blurb like albeit blurb software / process probably felt better to me.

i have used mypix and the quality is always 100% and prompt delivery and you usually get some free prints as well, cannot fault the photobooks, never used any of the others mentioned so cannot comment on them.

Have used myphotobook.ie and found them very good. Usually takes 2 weeks for delivery. The real trick is to join livingsocial or groupon and most weeks they will have an offer on for myphotobook offering 40% discounts. I always wait for the offer which is great value.
Quality is very good

I use Photobox and the quality is great. Very prompt and also they have some good offers on at the moment (until tomorrow)

I ordered from these guys http://www.shakespearephotobooks.com/ when I need one done in a hurry. I ordered on a Sunday and had it in my hands Wednesday morning. Very happy with the results. It was a surprise for my wife on our wedding day so it needed to be decent quality.

I found this photo book printer review interesting.
