Making photo books

[Krang]

Does someone have a good suggestion for a print on demand photo service in europe?

I've been looking at blurb.com, which has a worldwide service.

All other insights about photo books are also welcome

I've used Apple and Blurb - not sure if the Apple books are available in Europe but I'd be a bit surprised if they're not - maybe higher shipping charges? Both were great, easy enough to layout, submit, etc. We got one 10x13 inch hardback coffee-table book from Apple that was similarly priced to the Blurb option, but was only about 30 pages or so. And I got a softcover of about 120 pages at 8x10" that was a good deal less expensive from Blurb. The quality was great and production/shipping reasonably quick for both.

Foto.com seems quite nice but I could not find any publishing options.

The large prints seems to be quite cheap also

I use blurb and have had zero issues. Buddy of mine in Austria ordered my Heritage Park book and it was printed in Geneva.

My aunt, a retrired librarian (not called Marion) says the quality (binding, paper) of blurb books are as good as any she saw come through her library.

one that I would strongly tell you NOT to use would be lulu.com Terribly quality control (colors vary from print to print) and their customer service is completely non-existent.

I've use photobook and quite pleased with the result. I uploaded my book design, three days later the book arrived

Now I'm swinging towards blurb. The prices and postage seem to be relatively cheap and they offer publishing services.

Photobook seemed to have some nice specialty options available, maybe a leather covered special edition just for me …

Quite old thread, but have you guys used BonusPrint?
It's a UK based, and i really enjoyed the quality.

Cheers
