Photobook Services

Anyone have any recommendations for good service, high quality prints, easy to use software/services websites for making photo books?

All I know of, are mixbook and photobookcanada...

The minimal work solution is to simply give all your pics to London Drugs and have them do it for you. From the sample booklets that I saw, the quality is certainly pretty decent. But I'm sure there are better solutions out there.

I've personally made 2 books with mypublisher, they're always emailing me deals. There's also Blurb but I heard their quality has gone down

I've tried Mixbook, and it wasn't negative nor positive.

Software was easy to use, fast delivery, quality is decent. Kinda expensive if you don't have a groupon type thing though.

I've used photobook canada for clients. Their quality is decent, but I don't really like the way my photos look on their matte paper.. they're not as sharp and detailed as I'd like.

I'm thinking of switching to pikto. They have lay flat books and their quality looks really good.

Pikto I Create Fine Art photo books with our Book:it software
