You know the little books that you can have made by using iPhoto on a MAC?
Im not getting a wedding book made or anything, im making a book about my dad for me and my 2 brothers (he died a few years ago). I want to make that kind of book...any ideas where I should have it done? I can do the alyout and all of that I just need a company that will print and bind it. Since it is a momento type thing i want it to be nice. I have seen the books that Apple produces and they are ok for what im doing but just wanted to know what else was out there.

im also not made of money but am willing to put some coin into this project since it means a lot to me and will really mean a lot to my younger brothers...im sort of personalizing the book to each of them with pics of my dad and each one of them. My youngest one will really like this i think since he was just 13 when our dad died.


anyways...ideas and suggestions are very welcome.

Have you heard of Asuka books? They are really nice coffee table style books. I haven't used them personally, but I've seen them and I was impressed. Hope that helps!

Hi, Seth

Have you heard of or checked into Blurb and Lulu? They are very popular and some photogs on here have used them for different projects, so do a search and see what others have to say about them. However, they are very simolar to the Apple books.

Asuka would be a great option if you want something really nice, but be certain you design within the page limits they have established.

Zookbinders is about to release a new book that might suit your needs also. Depends on whether you are including text. This one might be best suited for images, like a standard photographic album. But it is a press-printed book like the others.

Hope this helps!
