I want to print a nice hard cover book of my photography. Does any one know of a nice service? Wasn't sure if the flickr one prints with their logo on it. I'm trying to avoid that.
Thanks!!

here in AUS we have a printer called Bambra Press and they have this amazing new digi printer. they have done several small runs of books for us and you can honestly not tell the difference between digi and offset (in most areas). so i'd check with some of your better and bigger offset companies to see if they have this digi technology, as you can layout your own book to the size and spec you want - not some crappy pre-defined layout.

ninjasavant, who's the printer of the aperture books, do you know?
- They come in an apple branded box so I don't know. I'll see if I can find something.ninjasavant

How you do it is in Aperture you create a new Book, drag pictures to it, set all of your settings and click order. Then it uploads somewhere and about a week later you get an Apple branded box with your book in it. Pretty good quality. The hardcover books come with a dust jacket.

As for who actually does the printing, I can't find any info on that so I'm assuming Apple does it (?)
- i'm not finding anything either, but they look goodversion3
