Anyone have any good photobook recommendations - as in where to get a photobook done? I've heard of a lot of people who use Shutterfly. Anyone else?

I used Blurb recently and everyone loved the book. And the company sent my check when they said they would.

Working on designing a blurb book now.
They were recommended to me by a commercial print house, based on the quality of the books.

Have used blurb and was totally disappointed. Print quality was unacceptable. Then I tried Professional Photo Albums. Their shipping sucks (takes about 10 days), but they offer a design service which is great. You just upload your images and they design beautiful albums at very reasonable prices. Much nicer than I could do it without spending a week of work on it. My customers love their books.

I really like the Assembled albums from MPIX, but they are pricey MPIX Assembled Albums.

I have used My Publisher too, and I find it very user friendly to put one together, and they give you a lot of options, at a very good price.
