Outstanding Without Standard Shipping My order was, as usual, produced extremely fast. I'm amazed! I didn't use the standard shipping option this time, and Bada-Bing, I got the shipment very quick. I ordered 12 copies of my 140 page book on a Friday, going to 5 addresses, and all were printed and delivered by Thursday and Friday the very next week. Impressive!!!

I've been using Blurb for at least 15… I've been using Blurb for at least 15 years. I don't publish many books, but the ones I have done have been excellent. I'm a photographer and a writer. The last 3 books I have done with Blurb have all been personal travel experiences. I value my photography and so do the printers at Blurb. Honestly, I worked in advertising and marketing communications for 40 years and I would put their work up against any of publishers that I did multiple volume printing. I just received my most recent one today and it's PERFECT!

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.

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.

How to ship some poems Within two weeks, I received two books of poetry in the mail—one via Blurb and another from a huge purveyor of books online I will not name. They were about equal in size with glossy covers. The Blurb book arrived in perfect condition in a reinforced envelope. The other book came in a box with inflated plastic around a gift bag. I had to straighten it out.
