Albums and Books

MB Shutter

I have used Blurb in the past and am looking at adding or at least checking out additional vendors as I am just not sold on the quality of the books I've found at Blurb.

Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of the vendor(s) you may use for your client albums and books.

Thanks so much!

Please don't hate me for loving WHCC (since its not partnered w/ SmugMug).. but I really love their quality in misc gifts/books/etc. Their service, for me, has been great.. and their prices are competitive. Since I subscribe to their emails and follow them on twitter, I get the most recent info about specials/discounts (which they do frequently).

I've used blurb before and it was a challenge to get started. Their program download would not install worth a darn.. I had to pop out my laptop just to start working on a book.

Of course, I've tried other "general user" sites for personal use.. I still WHCC

I like Vision Art. Excellent quality. Heavy paper! Clients love them too.

It's been a while since I have done an album. I stopped doing weddings in 2008, so I'm not up with the latest. Vision Art has excellent customer service and usually only takes a week to process the album.

I am with you on WHCC, and have also starting trying Miller's. Two high class operations.
