FREMONT, SEATTLE, WA :: Several months ago, one of Kristie’s former coworkers showed her a professional-looking photo book he had made with iPhoto. Ever since then, Kristie has wanted her own album with our photos in it. Unfortunately, iPhoto is only available to Mac users, and I could not find a PC-compatible service that matched iPhoto’s quality. Then I discovered MyPublisher.
I learned MyPublisher is the company that prints iPhoto’s photo books. For PC users, they provide a simple application you can download from their website for free. The program lets you compose your pages offline, and then upload them when you are ready to buy. It was a lot of work, but we managed to fill up 100 pages with 366 photos from 2005.
MyPublisher charges $1.50 a page, and then an additional $10 for a leather cover. If you’re a Costco member, check out their website for a code that will save you 20%. Search the web for other coupons as well. We took advantage of a “Buy One Book, Get One Book for Free” promotion.
The books aren’t cheap, but I think they’re worth the price. We were very, very impressed with the quality of the binding, paper and photos. I didn’t bother to match ICC profiles while processing the images, but the colors still turned out great. We ordered a few books to give as gifts this Christmas. Surprisingly, they were at our door just four days after ordering them! We will definitely use MyPublisher again to make additional photo books.

Do you see comments on old entries?
Just curious if this book is still holding up, binding and all?
Yep, it’s holding up well, just like any other book. I don’t know if it’d be able to withstand daily abuse, like stuffing it in a backpack with other books and reading through it several times everyday, but it’s pretty well constructed.

wow!
John, you are always so cutting edge. I may have to get me a few o’ these.
