Blog Book Revisited

So a lot of people have been interested in the blog books. So far the two best sites (that I've seen) for doing blog books are http://www.blurb.com/ and http://www.blog2print.sharedbook.com/. I think price wise they are pretty much the same. I've used the blog2print site for both of my books, but that is because I'm LAZY. I've seen some books from blurb.com and they are awesome too.  Blurb is awesome if you want to actually go and format each page and picture and you can make the pictures however big you want, etc....much like a photobook. I take WAY too many pictures and don't have the time want to do that much effort. ☺ For me, at this time in my life, blog2print is the best option. I just do the upload, they do all the formatting, EVERYTHING. I pick the cover, pick photos for the back and front, titles, etc...decide if I want comments included or not, order.

The End.

 Right now that works for me. Someday though I would like to take the time and do a book from blurb. Someday.

Note that my books are 200+ pages. I can't remember if there is a limit on pages, but they do limit it to 1000 photos so I can only do about 4-5 months per book.  I'm not sure about blurb's policy on that.

Also, with blog2print, the words will not be in the same layout that they are on the blog, meaning that if I have pictures labeled on my blog, they won't be labeled in the book. I have to say that right now it doesn't bother me that it does that, but if it bothers you, then you'll probably want to do your book through blurb.

Here is the softback

Personally, I prefer the hardback and it's worth paying the extra money. The front of the books

and the back

the intro page

the hardback also has the title on the spine, the softback does not
