Haven’t tried any yet, but after reading my copy of Choice Computer, I was thinking of trying out the Advent photobook as it was only one percent below the recommended photobooks, but was half the price of the cheapest recommended one. I figure it would be better value than the others.
For some time I have been producing my professional and personal photo books using the Apple Photobook system. I have used other suppliers such as Blurb to meet some specific needs. The Apple Photo software is generally straightforward to use to load the images, which I have edited using Photoshop, etc. Apple Photo has a good range of book covers, layout options and page formats (except no portrait style). The software did go backwards a few versions ago but Apple has now restored dropped features. I think there is still a 99 page limit (not images). The uploading works. The delivery is timely and I’ve never had a problem. Reproduction quality is good (but saturation of each photo must be increased for all photo books - not just Apple). Paper has nice feel. Price seems to be in the middle of the offerings. It is easy to reprint Apple Photo books even after a long interval.
