Default Coffee Table Book

Does anyone know of a good site to order coffee table books?? I'm looking for some good quality ones to offer my clients. I've seen some made by other photographers that are just amazing. Any ideas?

I recently read a post somewhere on here that suggested blurb.com. Although I don't remember who suggested the site.

I ordered books from Blurb.com for clients this holiday season. They exceeded my own expectations. Their templates are very customizable, and their desktop uploader/designer is exceptionally intuitive.

The colour rendition from my own prints was excellent, paper quality (I upgraded) was amazing. Price is very good, and the quality, well, straight out of Barnes & Noble. Though I havent tried other vendors, I won't be bothering, Blurb sold me on their first order.

A+, I can't recommend them highly enough.

I've used Shutterfly and they are good. Adorama Pix also has them. The nice thing about Blurb is you can upload the book and offer it online and mark it up so that you make a profit, I don't think any of the others let you do that.

Lulu.com is another. Haven't used any of them, but Shutterfly. I thought Shutterfly was rather cheap, but it was my first book, I didn't go whole hog, and it was just for family.

I use Bayphoto.com for my albums and photobooks. Prices seem good and quality great. They use the ROES software and have a lots of templates.

Do you upload it to the Blurb website or to your own website and then mark it up? I'm thinking of making a coffee table book from my travels in Thailand and this is a brand new concept to me! (I'm also a somewhat new photographer) I would love to hear more about this!
