    • Thanks utope!canoe
    • I take it, you used them before?canoe
    • Yes, good quality, pricing is reasonable for short runs. Pay the extra money to have their logo removed from the binding.utopian
    • +1 on blurb, at least from past experience. I've got a bunch of photo books done through them and quality has been excellent.monNom
    • Had mixed results with Blurb. They botched the cover on a proof to the point that I didn't feel confident with the initial design and had to pivot a full...duckseason
    • ...bleed approach. Also, the binding started falling apart on a lot of books. I don't necessarily fault them for this, as they were getting used heavily...duckseason
    • ...as menus at a bar. I more so blame the client for skimping on a budget printer, but just putting it out there.duckseason
    • But they are good in a pinch and decent value for the money.duckseason
    • I had great success with them 10 years ago for beautiful photo books we made for our clients. I recommend them but mostly because they are the only ones.monospaced
    • Any on demand printer can do small short run books, but blurb is good if you want hard bound and custom.monospaced
    • These guys do an awesome job and you can customize with matte finishes for the cover and interior, with different weights, very good pricing: https://mixam.comdavey_g
