I've also done some comparing recently to see what else is out there that isn't so expensive - I want to make a few books of our vacations throughout the years and I want them to be the same quality/size. </p> <p>After comparing prices, I think I'll stick to Shutterfly/Tiny Print (since Shutterfly bought them out). They've been around for awhile and I can count on them being there for when I decide to make more albums. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63369 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:40:38 +0000 looch 63369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use whatever I have coupons for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63317 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:40:18 +0000 Boogs 63317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used Blurb a couple of times and I used to really like their quality and customer service. This last time, though, I was VERY disappointed because their printing wasn't consistent and they were severely lacking great customer service. It's more pricey, but I will probably try mpix next time because I've been thrilled with some prints I used them for more recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63231 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:40:25 +0000 mrswoohoo 63231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used Snapfish for the past three photobooks, and they've turned out surprisingly well. Shipping is higher than I thought, but considering the Buy 1 Get 2 free deal it wasn't so bad. I want to try My Publisher for my next one though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63152 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:29:30 +0000 jennylynn 63152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used mix book for our wedding album and I love it! They were reasonably priced, good quality, and you have the ability to pretty much customize it any way you want. I plan to use them again for a baby book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63127 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:56:15 +0000 sslm 63127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used photobook canada for our wedding albums and was very happy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63123 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:54:09 +0000 MamaCate 63123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also used blurb for all our wedding albums...smaller parent and grandparevt albums and a big one for us. The paper quality was really good and i really liked the ability to fully customize each page so it was exactly what i wanted. Of course, that made it time consuming. I have used shutterfly for quick projects and been happy with it, but i prefer blurb for the overall quality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63122 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:52:09 +0000 Mrsbells 63122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used adoramapix for my wedding photobook. I love it and everyone who sees it thinkts it was done by a professional. I would always use adoroma </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63102 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:30:21 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 63102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Blurb for all of our wedding stuff and was quite happy with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63096 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:12:01 +0000 HabesBabe 63096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used Blurb and MyPublisher. I love Blurb because they have the imagewrap hardcovers. MyPublisher has better quality images, tho, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63085 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:38:26 +0000 joyjoy 63085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used Shutterfly (1x), MyPublisher (4x) and Blurb (~10x). Overall, I like the quality and layouts of MyPublisher the best, but it's also the most expensive, even with their frequent coupons and promotions. I use Blurb the most often since I like their combination of quality and pricing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63074 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:13:56 +0000 owlmom 63074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Adoramapix. The books are printed on photo paper instead of press printed. They lay flat and don't have a gutter. They're a little pricier than a lot of other books, but I think the quality is worth it for special pictures. The one con is that they aren't as flexible with the number of pages. Of the press printed books I've made (Kodak gallery, mpix, blurb, my publisher, shutterfly), I think My Publisher is the best, but that's just my personal preference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63069 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:08:14 +0000 chopsuey 63069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always use Shutterfly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63067 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:06:02 +0000 spaina96 63067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used shutterfly and thought is was great quality, at the time they had buy one get two free. So it was a great deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63056 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:52:22 +0000 mynoahbear 63056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We created our own photo book on Apple. It turned out really nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63028 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:23:26 +0000 sulli301 63028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like shutterfly! They look great, they always have sales or promo codes &amp; it's super easy to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63027 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:21:49 +0000 Sha 63027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've used blurb, kodak gallery, costco and shutterfly....they were all pretty decent except costco. i usually like costco quality but the photo book had weird colors and blurry quality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63020 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:16:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 63020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use My Publisher for all of our books. I think their program is really easy to use and the quality is great. They always seem to have a coupon to use as well. The only downside is there is a 100 page limit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63014 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:09:45 +0000 Adira 63014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made mpix wedding books for our parents after our wedding. They were really great quality and the pages were thick and laid flat, which was nice. The sky was also the limit as you could make your own templates/photos and just upload everything once you were ready.</p> <p>The cons though were that they were kind of pricey and you couldn't have photos that spanned two pages because there was a border.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mpix.com/products/photobooks/photoalbums" rel="nofollow">http://www.mpix.com/products/photobooks/photoalbums</a></p> <p>That's the option we did, with the leather cover and the inscription. Beautiful book, but it'll probably depend on how much you want to spend and what you're looking for specifically. </p> <p>I was really happy with mpix, but I think next time I'd want to be able to have photos span two pages and also have a photo on the cover/binding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63009 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:06:01 +0000 heffalump 63009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always use shutterfly. I like the price and it's fully customizable, so I have fun with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-opinionsbest-photo-books#post-63007 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:04:17 +0000 anewme 63007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bunch of photos that I want to put into a photo book! I can't decide and have never done one before so I don't know the quality. Does anyone have a preference from experience? I'm thinking blurb, picaboo, mix book, mpix? </p> <p>I'm looking for a better quality one. Thanks!! </p>
