    Hi there,
    I am trying to create a photo book for a friend. But I need to find one that allows me to type in it too! For example, I have letters written from other people which I need to put on a page with 1 or 2 photos around it. I have tried taking photos of the letters and adding them that way but it isnt working (its cutting off the edges of the letter!) Does anyone know a site that allows alot of writing on each page? Or will I need to go to a printers?
    Thanks!!

    you could scan the letters and put them into the photo book that way? Most photo book software will accept jpeg and pdf so be sure to save the scan in this format

    When you get specification of the pages sizes, you can create the whole pages in an editing software and upload the whole pages.

    You can add text with Photobox books, not sure if it is limited to
    a certain number of words though? Their books are excellent
    quality too.

    I just put together a photobook with http://fotoinsight.co.uk/ (it arrived this morning in fact).

    They have decent desktop software that lets you design the whole thing offline before uploading. A number of their default page layouts include lots of space for text with the photos (even paragraphs, if you like).

    I looked at a few different suppliers since this was quite a big project (50 pages) and for my money, this was the site that had the most flexibility. Also very easy to use. I'm planning on ordering a few more now.

    (No affiliation with FotoInsight other than as a happy customer.)
