Blurb Aggregated Reviews

I’ve used blurb and had good experience. They’ve native book building module in Lightroom that made it pretty effortless.

I’ve been using InDesign to import my PDFs to Blurb for printing my images and this has worked quite well using an 8×10 inch format. Blurb offers downloadable templates for InDesign for each of their formats. This may be worth looking into if you are interested in doing a print run. One thing to keep in mind is that Blurb offers somewhat limited formats with each of their offerings.

We’ve made a dozen different photo books using Blurb. Not the hardcover large coffee table books, but the magazine-size, premium paper softcover photo books. I’ve made them as short at 30 pages and as long as 200 pages. Depending on your page count, they can cost up to $30-40. There are always coupons and promo codes for Blurb printed books though. I’ve never had books printed for less than 25% off. Father’s Day, 4th of July, Labor Day will all have coupon codes for Blurb.

I make books occasionally at blurb.com. They have their own software, “booksmart”. I think they have new software now. Booksmart is great if you have consistent layouts that repeat, but not great if every page is unique. I haven’t used the new software.
If I want more flexibility, I’ll build the book in the freeware desktop publishing software Scribus, and export as PDF, then upload that to blurb.com.
You can buy your own book, and you can share the link with friends and they can buy your book also.

We bought parents albums from Blurb to check the quality, they arrived this week and the inside of the book is lovely, but we had a black and white photo printed on the cover and it’s got a blue tinge to it. We don’t think we will get our album from them after all!

FWIW I have used Blurb for many photo-books and been very pleased with the results. These I had made as magazines on high quality paper, so they aren’t actual photo albums. Yours will be larger, higher quality, and more expensive. That being said, Blurb often has great sales up to 30-40% off and I think they’ve got good customer service.
