So I wish I could take credit for this incredible find but I saw it over at Ms. SF Girl by the Bay this am. I've been obsessed with the idea of iphoto books for a while. I've even started scanning in old childhood photos in hopes to give them as family gifts, sometime this century.
I haven't seen them in person but there was something off about the iphoto books from what I could see online. Maybe it's the text? I'm not sure. Blurb seems to have fixed that issue and found an inexpensive way to make awesome looking photo books [or publish your very own book with just text] and make it look super pro.
I'm having the attention span of a flea at the moment so you can go check out prices and size information at the site but prices seem to range $10-$30. I think that the publishing world may have to rethink themselves, kind of like record companies did with itunes. This could spawn a whole new crop of writers and artists which makes me so incredibly excited!
My personal favorite from just a few minutes on the site was definitely Robert Mars [center neon photo] because we all know what a sucker I am for vintage neon. His work is actually paintings. This photograph was an excerpt.
