"Easy to use. Pretty flexible product although I probably didn't use it to its fullest potential - maybe if I practised more?!"
"the end product was very poor and i am very disappointed. I purchased the upgraded paper which cost a heap and the quality is very poor and i am ashamed to show people. The web site did not explain the paper quality well. I am actively telling anyone who will listen not to use this book production website. so many better ones out there. my wife warned me and i should have listened."
"very easy ordering process. book came out great. There are a lot of options of photo book printing places these days and blurb is a very good one."
"The best way to create a book. I was so impressed with the Booksmart tool, the final production of the book and the delivery. In fact, i really couldn't believe there was an organization that was so efficent in every area. "
"I found the soft ware very easy to navigate. I loved the quality of the book and the delivery time of 4 days to Australia was quite a surprise."
"It was easy to use and I'm not computer savvy. The book was received within 10 days as promised. It was better than I expected being of high quality paper and hardback. The only mistakes were my own typing errors which made it even more personal. I chose Blurb over other companies because of the wide range of choices. I highly recommend them. "
"I have nothing but praise for Blurb and the way they take you step by step. I'ts like putting your raft in fast flowing river. You're in and away. I had some help from another person who had used your services. That is all postive and now I can help others."
"I have long awaited Blurb linking software for Blogger. I have recently made and purchased my complete year of blogs for 2010 and 2011 for each of my children for Christmas. Hopefully it will be a treasured keepsake of my wit and wisdom. This program is simple to use and the customer service crew is extremely helpful if you run into a snag or have a Senior moment...or two...."
"Fantastic service - great pro options for designers, as well as excellent resources for basic users. The finished product is high quality and the whole process from order to delivery took just a week in my case. I will be using Blurb again and again - highly recommended!"
"Extremely happy with all the books I have created through Blurb Booksmarts. 5 books so far. The process is easy and fun. "
"My daughter and son-in-law wanted a printed photobook instead of a traditional wedding album of prints. I was skeptical that a printed book could do justice to professional wedding photos, but reviews pointed me to Blurb, and I was absolutely thrilled with the results. Blurb's Booksmart software was a great canvas to tell the story in pictures alone (my choice except for the covers). I was able to choose backgrounds, customize my layouts, build montages and overlapping graphics, and resize cropped pics to what Booksmart calculated as acceptable resolution. Many of the photos were gorgeous onscreen and they show just as well in print. Imagine featuring a prized picture as a full 11x13 page, faced by a montage page where you can see the detail in 6 or 9 pics arranged to show context or development. (Tip: If you're retiouching, remeber that printed images tend to appear darker than onscreen ones.) A reviewer said the image quality on the cheaper paper is just as good, but I went with Blurb's best paper and other options for quality feel (leaving Blurb logo in, tastefully placed on endpage for professional look). The 220 page 11x13 textwrap hardcopy with best paper and leaves ran a little over $200, which I consider an incredible deal for a wedding album. The quality is excellent in all respects - better than most art museum gallery books. This proved to be an immensely satisfying project, and I ordered a copy for myself and one for the in-laws. I'm now looking forward to other Blurb creations of my own photographs. Highest recommendation! "
"An excellent service that I have no hesitation in recommending. We all have a book inside us. Blurb allows us all to publish that book."
"I am already a published author and have a publisher and receive royalties but sometimes I want to create a book and make myself author,publisher,and treasurer. Blurb has let me see what my work will actually look in print and that helps me decide if I am goint to actively market it.
It was easy to upload the book, it took minutes for their software to prepare it and they delivered an excellent product ahead of their promised schedule. I recommend Blurb highly for those that want an economical publish on demand company."
"I love the simplicity of the program and I was able to make my wedding book exactly how I wanted it to be. The quality of the book is remarkable. I recommend blurb to everyone!"
"I was recommended Blurb by a family member who uses it in conjunction with his photography, photoshop and smugmug who swears by it. At first I thought it was going to be yet another internet gimmick that I would have to spend months mastering and trying to work out where the catch was. So far I am very impressed with the easy to follow instructions and the way you can go back and forth between pages and not be committed to anything until you are sure of what you are doing. I am still navigating around different options, exploring, trying and working out things. I started with a small book as i needed a quick gift to send to someone. I thought if I was happy with I would progress to other formats, and if I wasn't, I had not spent much. I finished my first book in a few days and I would recommend Blurb to any beginner trying book-making tools. I found it fun, creative and a little addictive! "
