Have you ordered photo books online?

I am thinking of ordering a photo book for my trip to Disneyland the other day and I am looking for ideas of where to order a book online. I am a member of Shutterfly and they are offering 20% off photo books. I have never ordered one from them, but I have ordered pictures for pick up at Target in the past.

Do you have any suggestions of an inexpensive place to order?

Thanks!

I have had excellent results with Snapfish and Shutterfly. Both are very good companies and I have had several orders placed with each.

I've ordered one from Kodak Gallery before and it was good. I think it was $30, but I just googled a Kodak coupon code and found one for $10 off.

I use Kodak Gallery for all my photo books, pictures, everything --- love it. Very good quality. My sister also does picture calendars with them, too.

I use shutterfly.com for my photo needs. I think I have made 8 photo books, several calendars & posters and other photo gifts through them. I think the quality is great. I just made and ordered a book today for my brother's wedding.

I've used Shutterfly 7 times and Kodak once - Shutterfly is definitely superior and I'm willing to pay more to make a book there, though they frequently have coupons and about once a year I get an offer for a free photo book. I've used Shutterfly to make my two oldest daughter's wedding albums, my youngest daughter wrote a book and illustrated it with photos............ It's like scrapbooking but much, much easier and I actually get it done (as opposed to the stacks of pics, case full of scrapbooking paper, stickers, etc that are sitting unsed in my closet :-)

I have noticed that fiddling with my pictures on shutterfly is much easier than taking all of my scrapbook stuff out as well!

I ordered 2 from Walgreens and was 150% happy with them!!

My mom came to visit last spring and we did her a DC book and a NY book from her visit. It was a great gift and it came quickly.

I use MyPublisher and have been extremely pleased. I'd google MyPublisher + offer and see what you come up with. They often have free book offers and BOGO's.

I also use some software called Scrapbook Factory Deluxe to get photos ready to upload into my photo book. I just create scrapbooked pages with SFD, and make them the same size as the pages of the photobook I'll make.

I got my copy for about $15 after rebates a couple of years ago - the mfr. price shows $40. There is a little video if you scroll down this page.

I used Picaboo a few years ago and loved it! I just recently ordered from Shutterfly because I had a coupon for a free book. I would probably go back to ordering from Picaboo, I thought it was much easier to use and offered more variety!

Blurb is great, it's a great price and you get a LOT more pages for the same price you get 20 for with Shutterfly. I LOVE the quality of the Shutterfly books, and I've seen some of my friends blurb books, and the quality is just as nice as shutterfly. I just finished 2 books with shutterfly last night and ordered a calendar for 2010 as well. You can't go wrong either way. Have fun!

I want to do this for gifts this year but have dial up and it's nearly impossible. I am not very puter savy. What would I have to do? If I got all my pics ready on my puter can I just put on a drive to take to a place wiht a faster internet? Just not sure how it all works. Any advise?

You could probably put them on a flash drive or burn them to a CD and go to a different computer and upload them to the website. Once you start an account on one of the websites, your pictures stay there unless you delete them. So if you can get the pictures uploaded on a different computer you can probably make the actual book on your own computer.

shutterfly-I ordered a free 7x9" book from a code and after I ordered they sent me a code for 50 free prints + shipping and tax!! I spent about 15.00 for all of that including some 5X7's that were not on sale.
what a great deal!
