hi everyone! long time no post. hehe. i was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to get some nice quality photo books? i have tried Mpix and quite frankly i wasn't too satisfied. all their other stuff is fantabalous! but the photobook paper makes the photos look very dull. anyway i hope i can find a good place to get my photobook at a good price with fast delivery. thanks y'all. :o dalila.

Aloha Dalila!

I have been very happy with the quality, speed of delivery and cost of the photo books I've ordered from MyPublisher.com. Check it out.
Aloha,

H&H Color lab, black tie press products. You can do CC or they can (you need approved if you want to do it, but it's a bit cheaper for ya).
2 days in house and 2 day fed ex (no shipping charges). Can't beat that time frame!
Great work, and their new metallic print photo covers are a real WOW to clients! I use them for non-wedding purposes, like baby books, engagement books, guest books and senior books.

I've used MyPublisher books and have three issues with them. They put their name in/on the books, they sell directly to consumers, and they fall apart.

I know a few wedding photogs that use their books...I pity them when a bride uses the same book for a guest book at her reception..a $30 book that he'll try and sell to her for $1000 or more? Out the window goes his credibitliy or reputation.

Asuka makes nice books, very popular with wed photogs.

thanks guys!
i will try them out for sure.....although i don't like the fact that the company prints the name on the books. that's a big no no for me. i simply don't like it. thanks again for the feedback.

what photo paper type would you guys recomend for the books? i want them to look amazing and my last book was horrible. everytime i look at someones wedding book it looks really nice and mine looks pretty dull. :confused:

Saw some samples at the ASUKABOOK booth at a recent tradeshow. They looked pretty awesome. www.asukabook.com. Lots of options: soft/hard cover, leather or animal friendly, book bound or hand stitched. The paper also comes in a couple different finishes. For example the "laminate glossy" has a shine whereas the "laminate matte" looks more dull. Turn around isn't terribly fast, about 4 weeks or so. I'm thinking of signing up and giving it a try. First studio sample is 50% off.
