Excellent print quality—that accounts for the one star. The pages are warped and very difficult to turn, making the entire experience very frustrating. It doesn't feel like a proper book, but like som... See more

Don’t be afraid to tackle large projects!
I have finished 3 photo books (each around 230 pgs) for my son that cover his life from 0-18. This is a project that’s been in the back of my mind for years but it seemed daunting. It took some time, but I couldn’t be happier with the experience making them and with the quality of the printed product! BookWright has a few quirks here and there but it’s just a matter of getting used to the interface. I found that custom layouts made it a lot easier to create the books. It’s a great feeling to have these done and to have such a high-quality book to show for it!

The book I ordered was beautifully done. And I received my order in a timely fashion. I highly recommend this company to you.
Good product. Offer swatches?
I’ve been using Blurb for my annual book of my best photography for 10 years. The app for designing and producing the cover and pages is easy, as is the ordering process. I’ve been OK with the print quality over the years but wanted to see if it would improve with the higher end paper. It gets expensive ordering books just to test papers but I am happy with the ProPhoto Pearl paper. I would like to see Blurb offer a sample swatch set so people can see how each paper handles the printing of photos, text, etc. I would have been willing to pay a small fee for the swatches vs the expense of a full book.
My books were perfect.

Very nice final product,very well received by the recipient I made the book for!
The quality of the book is fine
The quality of the book is fine. My only disappointment is that the photos seem to generally be a little dark. Possible that I'm making some mistake but the printer vs the on line preview leaves me feeling a little disappointed.

you make ordering books easy and the results are great but you are lacking when it comes to explaining why I can not access the "Refer a Friend" program with 6000 members of a group of photographers I organize?

Absolutely no hassles when it came to getting a reprint because of a damaged book. Fast turn around too. I would highly recommend Blurb for all your book printing needs.
I was disappointed in the “book”
I was disappointed in the “book”. This is more like a picture album of parts of the subject. The family photos at the end added to the less than professional book I was looking expecting. Also The price was not in line with the few pages it contained. While this is a good idea and avenue for printing I am not sure it’s worth the cost.

Misprints
Misprints, slow delivery (even worse on the reprints/fixes), damaged shipments, website outages, missing sales, and no response from the help desk... if they weren't built into Lightroom I would be looking elsewhere. I have had good experiences in the past, but there isn't even a phone number to reach someone there to get some answers and it is really frustrating when I'm trying to showcase and sell my work.
