A modest Blurb book might be 40 pages or so - anything less than that will look a bit thin. I'd suggest specifying Premium paper as well, so the result will be as good as possible.
You can also offer softcover, hardcover with dust jacket and wrap-around hardcover as options. I always offer all three. It gives the buyer a choice of how much they spend.

I have now updated the instructions on how to post images. You will find this in the Your Photos section.
If anything needs further explanation, please let me know.

The short answer will be bandwidth, in the case of this forum a massive amount of bandwidth.
I allow direct uploading on my own websites, but it's not great and it's very limited in the sizes of image that can be used. Hotlinking looks better.
However, I will certainly ask.

I'll have a look at the sticky and see what I can do to make it clearer.

A day for the photography at the wedding, preferably you and an assistant.
The first time, two days Photoshopping and preparing the book. Then set your price for the book on Blurb and let them buy from there! If they buy lots of books, you'll have the profit on those.
As for your time, that should really be three days worth...it won't be cheap.

www.blurb.com will give you the answers on cost for a high quality product.
Doing this for friends of friends though is not the same as doing it for close relatives or close friends. Personally I'd say no. They may want the earth for nothing and could cause you loads of hassle.

You could post images in the Gallery and then tell us they are there in the forum, but it does end up duplicating effort.
Which do you prefer as a showcase for images - the gallery or the forum?

It probably could do with being bolder and perhaps "Post Reply" is as clear as it could get.

I've just bought one for £33.00 and have yet to test it out properly. I have always wondered if the marque converters were better than the indepenent ones and there's only one way to find out!
Specific marque converters for high quality telephoto lenses are no doubt superb - for example, the range of Leica converters for their very long lenses.
