yes i believe they always have - download the software - it just works on your computer until you are ready to upload a book and actually order it. they have several layout options available, or you can make your own and upload a full page spread.

Thanks for sharing! AWESOME, AWESOME job with the photos/book...they look like a very fun couple and you all had a good time @ the shoot. Of course, it doesn't hurt that they are both very attractive!

thanks for the update about blurb books. Could you revisit this thread as you purchase more of their books to check about quality control issues (the bane of print-on-demand, apparently)

I love your eye for composition. The photos were beautifully presented -- so clear, colorful. Congrats on a job well-done!

(You've sold me on trying out Blurb. They should pay you a finders fee! :)

Excuse me while I swoon a little bit - Chad Hedricks is a bit of a celebrity outside of Spring too. (Although I'm not that far from Spring, I think he would still count if I was across the nation.)

The book looks great! I've planned on testing them out with some of my own photos, and you've sold me on trying them out too!

Would everyone who tries out Blurb please add an update back to this thread? I would really like to use their services, but have issues with QC from print-on-demand companies.

I have had 4 Blurb books made. The first one the color was not right on the cover. The other 3 I ordered I just used a B&W photo on the cover.
They had a tint to them but not enough to matter for what I was using them for. The inside of all the ones I ordered look pretty good.
I was using them for HS Seniors BTW.

I absolutely love your images and compsotion! What an awesome photographer you are with some killer skills. All that to say... your photos are so strong and they don't need so many various borders. At some points it felt as if I noticed the borders more than the photos! I want to notice your photos because they really are gripping! Good job and awesome work...

Great Job! Your client will love them. I love all of them and would not be able to pick just one as a favorite. Would you mind sharing the location?
