I use them for my less expensive line of wedding albums/books. They're nice books and I know they have a ton of templates and stuff, so they may be worth checking out, as well. <BR/><BR/>My friend's HM link is http://www.storybookingbyyou.com if you want to take a look.Ben Rasmussenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18068136540152820913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-87983815953976891072009-01-04T23:31:00.000-07:002009-01-04T23:31:00.000-07:00I surely do appreciate all your feedback.

I am loving it! The selection of layouts and background colors is not as great as some of the other places, but it is quick and easy. If the printed book looks anywhere near as nice as it looks on the computer, I will be very satisfied.<BR/><BR/>Thank-you all!Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-83216277491443323102009-01-04T19:29:00.000-07:002009-01-04T19:29:00.000-07:00We have loved MyPublisher--you can add more pages ...We have loved MyPublisher--you can add more pages (for a fee per page), they have several different sizes, AND you get a discount if you do the book through Costco's photo site (20% off). I am a self-proclaimed technically challenged person, but I found the site very easy to use and move photos around. They often have specials that we like to take advantage of, like buy one get one free. Those deals are great at gifting time, since we can make one for Grandma and keep one as a keepsake for us. Best of luck!

I discovered Walgreens.com and I use them to make my photo books for work. I like using them because they are a little bit more sturdy than homemade books. <BR/>Walgreens.com photo books also come in different sizes.<BR/><BR/>I use the 5x7 photo book. I think you can have up to 75 double sided pages for all the sizes accept for the mini photo books. <BR/><BR/>I wanted to give you another option.

I use Shutterfly because you can make 100 page books which always seem to be just about right for a year of his life. Too bad I've only made two so far and he's ending his 4th year in May! I'm right in the middle of the third and I really need to finish and move on. I don't want to stop making these awesome books.Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.com
