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.

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

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. 👍

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!
