Including shipping, the A4 hardcover with dustjacket will be £45, the A4 softcover will be £35 and the approx 8" x 6" softcover will be £25.
To get lower prices we will need to have an order for 25+ copies.
Not cheap, but the printing quality is as good as any coffee-table book.
It took about 3 hours to prepare on a Mac and was then uploaded and duly delivered from the USA. It took around 7 days to arrive.

At about a pound an A4 page including binding and postage I would have said that was pretty good. Does it have to be done on a mac or can it be done on a proper computer? Are the pages printed on just one side or both? Any chance of a photo of how it looks inside? Sorry for so many questions but just yesterday I had an idea for a book and perhaps this might be the route to go.

I've had the smaller book made by Photobox and they are stunningly effective. Wedding photos in a book make a great gift

Both sides are printed, just like any book. Don't know about the Mac/PC question. We did it on my son Mike's Mac, but the images were prepared on my PC. I'll ask.At about a pound an A4 page including binding and postage I would have said that was pretty good. Does it have to be done on a mac or can it be done on a proper computer?

Looks great, John! I did one earlier this year on our Mac's iPhoto - a photographic tribute to a friend - and found the very customizable process easy to use, and the final result very 'professional' for this amateur.
Cheers!

Id made a book myself for a photography project for school
Cept its not been printed yet
I might just get in printed in book via photobox; id designed all the pages and saved as jpg, I can just modify them to fit the layout fine.

Preparation can be done on either a PC or an Apple Mac. Does it have to be done on a mac or can it be done on a proper computer? Are the pages printed on just one side or both?
Printed both sides in the example I've seen - beautifully bound - a real coffee table production.

It was produced via iBooks on a Mac and although not cheap it is beautiful quality. The club members will see this tomorrow night, so it will be very interesting to see what they think.
