Year Books

So thanks to the wonderful Pinterest I saw this awesome idea -- Family Year Books! I love it!

So I designed a 2011 year book! And plan to get it printed soon. There is not a whole lot for us to put in it now, but I think it would be so fun to just have a book shelf full of family year books down down down the road. I started working on a 2012 book, and realized I have hardly taken any pictures so far this year. Yikes! I'll have to make sure I take lots as the year goes on.

Here is an e-version of our 2011 book -

Have you ever printed a photo book? I have done some research on photo books and where to print --

My requirements were at least 20 pages, 11x8 in size, hard cover;

Costco;

both leather bound and custom cover books

30 pages

Starting at $24.99

Blurb;

Soft cover, dust jacket and custom cover books

Starting at $31.95 for custom cover

20 Pages

Shutterfly;

Starting at $19.95

20 Pages

Lots of  adorable layout options, layout choice changes price of book.

Snapfish;

Starting at $24.99

Fabric cover or custom cover

20

All of these places seem pretty easy to navigate -- but I don't know how the quality of each one looks. I would say Costco and Blurb are the most popular ones, but Shutterfly is teamed up with Tiny Prints who have the cutest pre-made designs I have ever seen.

Have you ordered from any of the places above? Or any other places?
