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

GBGood 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.

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.

GBExceeded 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.

GBMy favorite photo books! This is my fourth time printing through Blurb and I am pretty much sold for life. As a professional photographer, I am pretty picky about the quality of the paper and how well the photos match what I see on my own monitor. However, I am NOT a graphic designer and I need help with layout options. The Bookwright software is the perfect solution and gives me lots of space for text, plus the ability to customize each page as needed. The ease of use has me inspired and motivated to print more and more of my own personal photos, rather than just keeping them on my website or hard-drive, where they rarely get viewed and enjoyed. I get my Blurb books off the shelf and enjoy them all the time!
