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.

GBPoor 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.

GBI'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!

GBMy first time to have my pictures… My first time to have my pictures published on the front, back and inside a magazine. Then I order one to have a hard proof as a published photographer, really amazing quality, just love. In other hand you can add a fantastic customer service, fast reply and resolving a problem. I would highly recommend blurb.

GBExcellent 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!
