    I ordered a 7x7 hardcover from there using my boudoir pics - LOVE it!  I find the quality is a better then shutterfly (which I used for my photo guestbook :) )

    I'm looking forward to using Blurb to create our album soon. I'd love to hear from other who've used them about the quality, and if you designed your own layouts. (I'm planning on doing that in Photoshop 'cause I'm weird and picky about the layouts...)

     Also, for those of you still in the planning process, you can win a Blurb book (the big size, even!) at this contest: http://www.bestweddingsites.com/Contest/WeddingBook.shtml#Contest

    I'm jealous b/c my date has already passed, so I'm not eligible.

    Ooh-ooh!  I hope they add a feature to have "rotated" photos in their layouts in the near future. (So you don't have to stick with straight vertical or horizontal shots.)  That's why I used Picaboo for my guest book - their layouts have rotated photos. But I wasn't thrilled with the quality, so I'm gonna try doing my own layouts and getting a Blurb book.

    mrs.bee!!!! so jealous! LOVE them and cant wait for your review!

    i will give one more plug for them...lol.

    When my book printed, one photo got shifted in its "slot." I emailed their CS about it, they said it was a printer error, and saw that I had sent it in, in a different position. They printed a second book without a problem!

    oooh yay!

    I've been planning out some basic outlines for a Blurb book, as I'm just waiting for my CD of photos to arrive from the photographer! 

    All of my research over how to get the best picture quality out of Blurb led me to find this great tutorial on Color Management for Blurb using Adobe Photoshop:

    i tried blurb, but liked mypublishers bookmaking tools better..and they currently have a great deal for people that are getting multiples of the same book. ie: wedding album or honeymoon albums for parents gifts (or christmas)

    the code u enter is <font color="#333333">TRAVEL241 or just follow directions on front page where it says--get a free book.</font>

     it's 2 (of the same book) for one. so i made a 40 page book and ordered 2 for 49 dollars, +5 or so for shipping.
