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.

Very easy to design, publish, and share. Very easy to design, publish, and share. Would like it better if I found an error and needed to upload a corrected version, it would replace the one already uploaded rather than store both. Or at least give me the option. Convenient and I love that what used to be a dream of being published is made real with Blurb.

60 books produced - all excellent I've now produced over 60 books through Blurb, all with loads of photos and the results have been very pleasing. The Bookwright software is easy to use and has plenty of options - one example being able to add a border with rounded corners to photos which looks so much better than just square-cornered photos. I've mainly used the large landscape format with Imagewrap covers and the resulting 'coffee-table-style' books look superb. I've more recently produced some Premium Magazine books and they are also excellent - and a great deal less expensive! When I've needed advice or help with a problem, the Blurb Support Team have been top class - responsive, professional and friendly. Overall - Blurb is 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. 👍
