I have ordered books from Blurb 4 times now. The first 2 times my books were printed, shipped and delivered within 4 business days! The other times it took 6 days to print and 1 day to ship but that was around Christmas. Maybe I’m lucky, but I think most people on this forum only write when there is something they don’t like. Hope your books will arrive soon!

Sorry for my late reply, thanks for all the reactions! UPS delivered my package and I think it was 6 or 7 euros or so. A couple of weeks later I ordered 3 books in one package and that was the same postage price.

I don’t think there is a reason to be nervous about the quality of the books. Most of the time people give negative reactions when posting on forums. So many people order books with Blurb, of course sometimes things can go wrong. And of course, there are just people that think nothing is good enough for them ;)

I have recommended Blurb to a lot of people already who all loved the quality. My book is a hardcover, which I love. I haven’t seen a softcolor one but I expect it’s quite nice too.

Hi Jeff,

My book is 160 pages. It only has printing on the flap of the book, not on the real cover, which is black.

Good luck with your book!

I ordered my first book on Friday last week and got it today! My birthday was yesterday, so it feels like a present! I’m very happy to report I really like the quality of the book!

I’m attaching a couple of pictures.

But of course, there are also some things I didn’t like:

- there was more space cut off of the front and back cover than I expected.
- the font I used (Trebuchet MS) printed quite bold which doesn’t really look proffesional.

 So, what I learned:

- next time I won’t use a border around my picture on the front/back cover
- I will use a different font for a more proffesional look.

I like the quality of the paper and of the binding. Some pictures are a little darker in the book than on my computer, but it’s not disturbing. Some pictures also look a little dull, but most turned out great. I love the full bleeds!

 I will definately make and order more books! I love Blurb!

I also have a question about shipping. I ordered my book with UPS Expres Saver. Do they deliver on Saturdays? Thanks!
