What company will you get that printed with.... and How much? now, I am no expert, but some of the exposure on a few of the pages are off Like spread 5 and 6.. It could be my monitor. I am on a work monitor!

David, nice job from someone who has zero experience designing books! My favorite pages are those where you tell a single story with both images, like #3 and #5. A couple of pages have images that are very similar, and I wonder if you really need both, for example, #7 and #10.

I agree that some of the images may be a bit underexposed, you may want to paint some brightness on their faces.

I think your clients will be pleased!

Thanks Guys, some of them are off and I should have adjusted it, but I was filling pages. It is more of a proof book than anything.
Kym, this is a 6X9 "Press" book, soft cover from www.poundslabs.com I went with pounds because I had used them 35 years ago in the film world and was happy. Also, because they are local, both Dallas and FTW, I can go in. The woman that runs the FTW site will help you with the software if you make an appointment and go in, which I did. I also discovered that they have a weekly web training that you can take.
Cost, under 25 bucks and they also are running a promo this month with 30% of that. Promo Code PB9
Limit 2 books, studio samples only, :)
I dont know, but I would assume you could get 2 hard cover and 2 soft cover books on the promo code.
