I've just ordered a book of my vacation to Moab through
Blurb.
When you create a free account and download their software it takes you through the process of creating a personalized book which appears much more professional than ones I've seen on other sites. It actually contains some reasonably powerful publishing tools. I don't use Mac, but many online have described it as similar but more sophisticated than books published by Apple using iPhoto.
I particularly like that you can create the entire book without uploading each picture individually. This saves a ton of time compared to some other sites. The custom dust jacket on the hardbound is a nice touch too.
For those of you wanting to sell your work, you can offer your book publicly in their bookstore and set your own markup. Might be a nice addition for the wedding/event photographers out there.
Anyway, has anyone used this before? Did I just waste my money? I'll be sure to post back when the finished product arrives (probably 7-10 days).
