Hellobee Boards

I have no answer (I have also only used Shutterfly) but am interested in knowing this as well!

I like the thickness of the pages of adorama photo books. I think it will last longer with kids

Adorama is nice but not sure if they're the cheapest. Shutterfly is always running promotions.

I'm another fan of Adorama (I had them print my wedding guestbook and boudoir pix), but not sure if they're the cheapest or not.

I've used my publisher several times for vacation albums and liked them and used Adoramapix for my wedding parent albums and they were gorgeous and the quality was way better than my publisher. For what you want to make tho I'm not sure which would be a better option for you.

I do get emails all the time from my publisher for deals tho.

Ugh, I keep using shutterfly and they keep screwing up my books. My Publisher is the best I've used so far. As for cheapest, it's all about the sales and groupons. If you find one you like sign up for the mailing list or like them on facebook. I have books ready to go and then print them when I find an awesome sale.

Blurb

I've used all and like them! I love how easy it is to customize in blurb but it takes a looooot of time! But that's just me, you could click the automatic insert and select a theme so you don't have to,

I've used Picaboo and Lulu. I liked the Lulu book better, but not by much. It was a cute small book, and it has the title on the spine which might be good for the children's book. I think Picaboo is cheaper since I always get email coupons from them now. However, I'm not sure if either is cheaper than Shutterfly.
