Photo books
I'm thinking about getting a photobook done for a gift for someone. Has anyone who has already done so got any tips? What do I need to do to prepare my images in advances, for example? What was the quality like, did the book meet for expectation? What was the customer service like?
thanks in advance.

Glad you asked that JR was thinking of that myself as a thank your for the holiday my sister gave me, thought I could use the shots I took whilst I was there but they were all taken with a compact and I am worried they will not be of good enough quality.

i used my photobook.co.uk, very easy to use, you can use any image you have on the PC. set imagaes as backgrouds then overlay images on top. so many variations its brilliant. i chose the 36 page book. 34 quid i think, was very impressed with quality and speed of service. a friend told me about it who uses them for her wedding work

Can't remember which magazine it is but one of the photography magazines (this month)has a good in depth review of all the photobook providers.

Jack I can vouch for myphotobook too, excellent quality, and very simple to do the layout, and you have a variety of choices in designs, covers, finishes, bindings.
Here is a thread about them http://www.yophotographer.com/page.php?t=5124
I was impressed with mine. xx
