I want to make a couple if these for LOs first year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1166563 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:16:58 +0000 Mrsbells 1166563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer adorama. Their books have thicker pages and their books have flush mount so the pages lay flat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1166556 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:13:18 +0000 hilsy85 1166556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mjane: thanks, I just saw their big book of names and faces--I love that! I think I'll make one for LO for the holidays!</p> <p>@honeybear: eek I am the same way, at least for myself...</p> <p>maybe I'll make myself a cheapie that includes a ton of pics and make the grandparents a nicer one that has fewer pics :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1165748 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:33:56 +0000 mjane 1165748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pinhole press! They are soo lovely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1165744 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:32:37 +0000 Alivoo01 1165744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used Adorama and Shutterfly. I prefer Adorama Pix even though it's more expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1165706 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:24:01 +0000 Mae 1165706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Adoramapix is by far the best quality of those you listed. Shutterfly is the cheapest and lowest quality. The pages will yellow in under 3 years. Blurb is better quality but still printed on printer paper (even if you get the premium paper). Adoramapix uses actual photo paper and has lay-flat pages.</p> <p>ETA: I actually did a blog post with pics comparing these. I don't know if this violates self-promotion policy so if it gets deleted and you want to see it, message me. <a href="http://fifteenminuteplan.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/photo-book-round-up/" rel="nofollow">http://fifteenminuteplan.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/photo-book-round-up/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1165703 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:22:09 +0000 honeybear 1165703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a lot of books on Shutterfly. It is easy to use and the quality is decent for the price. If you're a photo minimalist (as in, you can stick to a 26 page book of just the best shots once and a while), then I might go for Adorama Pix, but I want to print nearly ALL my pictures (even the semi-crappy cell phone ones) and I generally don't like more than a few pictures per page, so Shutterfly makes more sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1165663 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:14:10 +0000 pui 1165663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Adoramapix. I'm a graphic designer and picky and they are the best I've used. I love how lay flat pages are included. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1165624 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:05:38 +0000 mrskc 1165624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made some parents wedding albums with Adorama Pix and the quality was really good. I've also made books with Shutterfly and My Publisher. Adorama was definitely high quality but I do like Shutterfly for ease of use and you get unlimited photo storage so they don't delete your photos and books that you're working on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1165595 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 09:58:06 +0000 rawrasaur 1165595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used Adorama Pix and Shutterfly, and Adorama Pix is way better quality, imo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1165578 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 09:53:49 +0000 bushelandapeck 1165578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used blurb for my wedding album and it came out great. I think I'm going to use shutterfly for a first year book of LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-photo-books#post-1165554 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 09:45:32 +0000 hilsy85 1165554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to make photo books for our parents for the holidays--any suggestions for good ones? I know Adorama Pix, blurb, and shutterfly are generally popular choices....my top priorities would be ease of use/easy to layout pics, and good quality books/photos in the book. Thanks! </p>
