Exceeded My Expectations I wanted to create a book of my photography to give my children. Might be the only inheritance they get fom Dad. I was nervous about the quality of printing. But, these folks exceeded my expectations! I'm gathering photos for volume 2.

Poor quality. I don’t recommend Paying almost £50 for a book that I couldn’t even use, due to the poor quality (bleeding it’s terrible) nobody checks any mistakes, they printed blindly. And that is not only the issue, the customer service is a disaster. No skills to deal with issues at all. No solutions, no refund, no return. Make yourself a favour and print with another company.

Good product. Offer swatches? I’ve been using Blurb for my annual book of my best photography for 10 years. The app for designing and producing the cover and pages is easy, as is the ordering process. I’ve been OK with the print quality over the years but wanted to see if it would improve with the higher end paper. It gets expensive ordering books just to test papers but I am happy with the ProPhoto Pearl paper. I would like to see Blurb offer a sample swatch set so people can see how each paper handles the printing of photos, text, etc. I would have been willing to pay a small fee for the swatches vs the expense of a full book.

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!

Excellent on all counts but one... tools glitching!!! I have several books published on Blurb, some personalized for specific clients, others accessible to public. Every book has been exceptional. Beautifully made, photos and texts excellent. I have had a lot of problems recently with the tools glitching on Book Smart (my favorite since I don't understand the tools on BookWright) James, and Padraic have been extremely helpful and timely in responding to my requests for help, but the glitches have not been fixed. the pages jump around when I'm editing them, and sometimes they lose a whole part of my text. A lot of time is lost and I have at least 12 books in process. I don't want to spend "the rest of my life" creating them. Unfortunately and fortunately, Blurb is the only book publisher where I can entirely create my book myself...writer, artist, poet and imaginative communicator - I'm everything but publisher : ) Service and feed back excellent! Book quality excellent! they replaced a paper back that had come apart, no charge - excellent. Tool glitches - very bad. I need help with the glitches..truly!
