My 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!

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!

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.

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.

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
