Anyone has experience on software and companies to design and print your own Photo Book?

I only have experience of Photobox which is at the cheap end of the market no doubt. Printing was ok and paper was ok and binding was ok. If I was paying a lot of money for a photobook, then I'd be very disappointed with the quality from Photobox. But saying that, it was just for me and I didn't want to spend much as my images were a bit crap anyway :smile: ... so I guess the answer to you question was No, I haven't any experience really :wink:

Look at Andy Rouses reviews on the warehouse express web site for the opus fine art portfolio

Hi Javier,

The one I use is a Spanish company as it happens.

HOFMANN, S.L.
Ciudad de Barcelona, 18 - Pol. Ind. Fuente del Jarro - 46988 Paterna (Valencia) - España
Fax: (+34) 96 134 32 01
E-mail: albumdigital@hofmann.es

http://www.hofmann.es

They have an excellent turnaround time, the product is good enough as a wedding book, some of my clients even prefer them to an album!

The software is easy to download and use, once you have got the hang of the different page styles, you can put together anything you like, and fairly cheap too at EU43.50 for a 50 page book (for those who are in Spain, EU47.00 to the rest of us)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
