    Hey all. So I'm having a really nice professional album made, but wanted to make one from an online site (aka a photobook) so that I have one to take to work, or to our "reception" in NJ (we were married in IN and most people couldn't come so we're having a party there this summer) or just when friends come and I don't want the nice expensive one messed up.

    I started one on Vistaprint but at 25 or so pages... I can't figure out how to add more!!??!!? I thought I saw something like add ## pages for $$ more or something, but I can't find out how to add new ones. I tried calling / emailing for help (I would tweet them as well but my twitter isn't public) and got disconnected twice and put on hold once without being told I was going to. So basically I'm fed up.

    I want to order it soon but I am a MAJOR bargain shopper and am looking for specials/coupons. Maybe some of you have seen some specials since it's Mother's Day time? Any suggetions? I really can't spend a ton of money but need a larger book!

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    I think you can make longer photobooks with other services. I got ours with MyPublisher.

    I've been shopping around too: There's blurb.com, smilebooks.com, kodakgallery.com, mixbook.com, mpix,com, bayphoto.com. 

    A photographer we interviewed suggested blurb.com. It all depends on the style of the book (like the press print books, flush mount, etc).

    Shutterfly actually creates suprisingly nice ones.

    I did a Shutterfly book for FI for Christmas. I was 98% happy with it. I had two dark photos (sort of night time stars shots) and they turned out all pixel-y and awful looking. Otherwise, it turned out well. It wasn't what I would want for a wedding album, but I think for a guest book with our engagement photos I would use them. Of course now that I've read that link, I'll likely use one of his top recommends instead ;)

    Oh dang - thanks for that link! I think I'm going to go with AdoramaPix! I love those pages that lay flat with no gutter - where have you been all my life?
