My wife and I want to get a wedding book printed. I checked out Lulu.com, but I'm not sure how the quality of the pictures in their books is. If we got one of their books, would the quality of the printing of phtos be equivalent to the printing quality of a 4x6 print?

We're looking to get maybe 5 or 6 books printed, and give them to our parents and family instead of getting regular Hallmark style book and just putting in 4x6 prints. Has anyone else tried this type of thing before, and if so where is a good place to go?

    P.S. - the viovio portfolio books are really big, and I've read that they're really well made and look great.

    I'm going to bump this because I have a question about the same thing. I designed an album for flush style--- where is the best place to get a flush album printed?

    Please see what I did on: http://shima.smugmug.com/gallery/1680238
    and give any feedback you can. Thanks.

    I designed it several months ago, but still need to find someone to print it for a reasonable price but good quality.

    Viovio does not offer flush mount, I checked in their FAQ. As for blrub.com it appears to be for publishing books, not photo books...

    This thread should answer all your questions on photo books.

    for Flush Mount, check out Leather Craftsmen or Graphistudio, but be prepared to shell out the $$$$.
