Are photobooks the new photo albums?
Book Printing
Mckensie, Go for it. I have made at least a dozen books with Mypublisher and just received my first two from Blurb. One of the Blurb books was 330 pages with sewn binding. You can make a book on any subject, or no subject. Fun to create and share. I have never had a fancy expensive camera or taken classes. All it takes is a good eye for composition, to make a perfect photo. Take several shots of the same thing, so if one doesn’t come out right, you have others. I am using a 7 mega pixel Sony Cybershot, and am constantly told how great my pictures are. Light is also important. Don’t take photos into the sun. Also, action is good. A photo of an animal or bird doing something is more interesting than it just standing there. If you have blurry pictures, try using photo software to make them sepia-toned, or old fashioned looking. Those should be blurry, so you turn something bad into something artistic. Anything goes!

Printing from different places
Book Printing
This past week, I received my first two Blurb books. After a dozen or so with mypublisher, i was waiting with anticipation for the results. I was generally pleased with both. I did notice something odd. The first book, 330 pages, came from Mass. had sewn library binding. The other, with 160 pages was stapled, and came from Seattle. Does anyone know what the page count needs to be, to have your book made in Mass. to get the sewn binding?
