Blurb Review : Photobooks
 |
Well the cold weather is definitely here, as the Autumn blows its burnt umber breath across the landscape. Today I received a beautiful and vibrant memory of summer though, and it definitely warmed me up inside, as I leafed through.
Blurb, is a company where you can make a beautiful book to either share or sell. I choose to make one that was a collection of over 100 photographs, from our fabulous holiday this year in Florida. The memories came flooding back as I turned each page. It really does have the quality, and finish of a coffee table book that you would buy. That’s exactly where its going to live, as I can’t wait to share this with family and friends as they visit.
There are so many options available, I wanted something that we could look back in years to come, and that is exactly what we got. The quality is outstanding. We have made a photobook before, but not with blurb and the quality was not a patch on this one. I had heard other bloggers raving about the service and quality of Blurb, and I can now see exactly what they mean.
The first step I would recommend, if you are using ordinary photographs, is that you spend some time editing them. Create a separate file with the photographs that you want to choose on the desktop on your computer. Once you have done this log on to the Blurb site, download the Booksmart application, follow the instructions, and create your book.
I loved that I could personalise the book, with Walt Disney and Character quotes, to really give it a Disney flavour. I choose every detail right down to the materials used for the cover, and the type of paper used.
Thank you Blurb, for making my memories come to life!
Watch this space, as next week, I have £30 in vouchers for you to make your very own Blurb book.
Thank you for reading

Hi,
I just blogged about Blurb today, as I have just finished my book.
Previously I have always used Photobox.co.uk
I am really really happy with the book, but it is due for delivery 31st October.
I hope I am excited about the quality and finish (as you clearly are) when it arrives
Your book looks great…. 100 pages or photos???
I did 52 pages and I thought that was a lot
