Bound Photo Books/Image hosting and printing websites

[battricia]

Hi.
I was wondering if anyone has ever had a bound book made of their images from a trip. I know image station makes them, and apple. I'm trying to find out where it's cheapest to get one done, how many pages for the cheapest amount of money. Image station and apple seem to be priced a bit similarly, but image station is having a sale on 10 page books right now. I'm wondering how well they come out, etc.

Also if anyone has other sites that host their pictures, such as snapfish, image station, etc. please let me know where, so I can check them out and see if they have bound books as well.

tricia.

As for the bound books, I have had a couple made at www.shutterfly.com and I have been very pleased with the outcome. I have always gotten them when they were on sale so I can't tell you how they compare to the others. I can tell you that you can chose different borders and fonts and that they look really great. I use shutterfly for all of my picture needs, I even had calendars and note cards made there that I was very happy with. When I first got my digital camera I tested a bunch of online places, I had the same 5 pictures processed at about 4 different places and shutterfly was the best quality and value for me. I purchase their pre-paid prints, you get about 340 prints for $99 and you have up to two years to use them....a great deal and being a pre-print plan user I get a lot of special deals, which I love. I actually got a 50 page snapbook for only the price of shipping as one of my deals, that was a big savings.
