DKHuge fan - one wish Have been using Blurb BookSmart for the past 12 years. Love all the customizing possiblities, great quality and speedy delivery. Only once, the product was flawed in printing. Contacted customer service, and got a new book soon after. Very easy and great customer service! One suggestion/wish: Only issue is some photoes - those already a bit dark - gets very dark on print. I guess it’s the difference between viewing on screen and on paper, but if somekind of enhancement tool could be developed, letting me know what it looks like on print? I’m afraid to mess too much with brightness, again because of the difference from screen to print, and my books are usually around 200$, so can’t afford to mess up too much.

GBThe reproduction book of Bill Ray Hells… The reproduction book of Bill Ray Hells Angels of San Berdoo is excellent, I opted for the printed cover version. The quality of materials and most of all his photography of these iconic images is great. What a fantastic way to own a long out of print book at a reasonable cost. Bernie

GBMy first time to have my pictures… My first time to have my pictures published on the front, back and inside a magazine. Then I order one to have a hard proof as a published photographer, really amazing quality, just love. In other hand you can add a fantastic customer service, fast reply and resolving a problem. I would highly recommend blurb.

GBWhat you see may not be what you get. [Please see comment at the end of this entry.) I have used several bookmaking services; friends told me to try Blurb, suggesting it would be cheaper. The bookmaking software is competitive with other vendors and is reasonably easy to learn and use. I created a book and bought two copies. They arrived with the front book cover image not at all centered on the cover. I doubled checked the cover page I created in the development software (BookWright). The image was well centered as I had intended. I went back-and-forth with tech support for about 10 days. They ultimately explained to me how Blurb trims pages and how book covers work differently in Blurb. Bottom line: in their graphics software, "what you see may not be what you get." they made no attempt to help me with a redo, discount, or even to say they regret my dissatisfaction. 04/22/2024 Unexpectedly, I heard from Blurb today. They said, since this was the first time I had used their product, they would give me an account credit to the full about I paid. That is generous of them. I will post again as soon as I get the corrected copies.

GBI designed my book in Adobe InDesign… I designed my book in Adobe InDesign and I was delighted to find out that Blub had a plug-in that works seamlessly with InDesign! I moved my project into the Blurb template and it worked great. The process was easy, intuitive and fast. I received my books a whole week sooner than the estimate they gave me, and they look great!
