What 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.

The 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

Our book was printed and sent to us… Our book was printed and sent to us within about a week, so delighted. We are very happy with the printed book...a reminder of some holidays. Blurb is a very easy and straightforward program to use, especially as I am not particularly computer literate. We have made a number of these books now and been equally delighted with the printed book each time.

I 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!

A great experience from start to… A great experience from start to finish. Layout process was easy once I’d gotten my head around it. Far easier than struggling with Lightroom. I didn’t choose the best quality paper and so can’t really comment on the best quality available but mine results were as I expected them to be. Can’t ask for more than that really. Next time I’ll go for the lay-flat option and better quality paper. Customer service was excellent with a refreshing, no-quibble attitude. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends. 👍
