Inspired by Chasky's post about his Sports Posters and another person's comment about them being something that a parent can't scan and reprint themselves, I thought I would share the book I created for my daughters Club volleyball team last year. The photography isn't the greatest, but the book idea was very well received.

I'll try and embed the preview below, but if it doesn't work, here is the link to the book on Blurb: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1263661

I've used Blurb and and MyPublisher in the past and overall like Blurb more. Plus, you can set your own rates for your books, so you can make a profit off of them... maybe not enough to quit your day job, but enough to at least make the effort worth it.

    Can you tell me how you embedded the book in the forum? What was the code?
    Have you tried embedding it into a Smugmug page? If yes, did it work?

    Thanks

    I have to warn you guys that Matt is kind of in a class by himself. I wanted to go home and reformat my hard drive the first time I saw the type of work that Matt does in Photoshop.
