photo book companies- your preference ?

Hi, I have used Truprint for all my books, very easy to use and you can do lots of things to enhance your photos. I go mad on cropping! You can check every page and add text or little picture embellishments. I always wait for a special offer which they have quite often and always choose where to put the photos as I found when I left it to them I did have a couple of doubles on different pages.

I am totally useless at anything technical so I will be basically just choosing photos for them to place where ever.
Is that even possible?
I only have my sons I pad so can’t do anything fancy anyway.
I see that Disney do a photo book, no idea on cost or if they ship to the U.K. ?
Any advice for a clueless person?

I did mine on a PC using a web site. If you know how to drag files onto a web site it's fairly easy but I've never done it on a Mac

I suspect disney may be a bit more expensive but can't confirm for sure

I have only done 2 photo books but have used Photobox each time. Easy to do and the books were good quality. I bought deals from Living Social each time.

You have to do Disney one within the 30 PP days I think. You can add Disney boarders etc to your photos and have Disney backgrounds to the pages. And yes you can add words.

But yes ... it's expensive!

Saal digital amazing quality for the price, did used to use zno (formally artisan state) but the quality has taken a real nose dive.

I use an app called freephotobooks.

Super easy to use, I have had many photo books from them, from the free book (you just pay £5.99 postage) to the upgraded hard back. Lots of page designs & layouts and multiple text page options.

I’ve always used Photobox or Snapfish. Both really easy to do and I was happy with the results. I always wait for an offer though.

I've always used Tesco's but only buy them when they're on offer. I do one as a christmas present for my mum every year as she loves them. I put in photo's from that year and that way she can have a browse through them whenever she wants.

I always used Cewe but this year Due to
Price I used truprint and the quality is the same.

I look for the ‘photo paper’ pages as I prefer the look of the thicker pages.

Photobox for me.
Subscribe to their offers. When a book one comes up add to your basket but don't pay. Then wait a few days. I normally get them for 50% off plus another 20% off for waiting a few days. The large square lay flat books are fantastic and work out around £50 for 70 pages, not cheap but neither is a Disney trip. I shoot wedding and use the same process for those too. I use the book module in Adobe Lightroom software to carefully craft each page.
