helenjenkins Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 <p>I don't know if anyone has experience of this, but I'm looking for a company that does photobooks with text. When my Mum and Dad moved recently, she found an essay my Dad had had to write for my Brother's English class. He hadn't seen it for 26 years and is really proud of it (justifiably - it's a great read!)</p> <p>For his Christmas present, I want to turn it into a book with some pictures of when we were babies and growing up, but I don't know of a company that has pages with formattable text. It's not very long so I want to be able to spread it out through the book. The book will also need to be a quite small format as the pictures are getting rather old now and they won't reproduce in a large format.</p> <p>If anyone can recommend somewhere that does this, I'd be really grateful. Thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbangerter Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 <p>Shutterfly has downloadable templates for Photoshop that can be used to create books incorporating photos and text. I am involved in a project using these templates, but have not yet finished and printed the book. The creation process has gone well so far. Here is a link:</p> <p><a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/digitalscrapbook/scrapbook-design-specs.jsp">http://www.shutterfly.com/digitalscrapbook/scrapbook-design-specs.jsp</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek_kennedy Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 <p>Blurb.com might be a place to start as well. Ive used them in the past and am quite happy with them.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie1 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 <p>I have used Blurb.com. I am happy with the completed book. They DO NOT market your book in the event you wish to market and sell it. However, they will produce a very good product you might like. I think it might be what you are looking for.<br> <a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/730987" target="_blank">http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/730987</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
