I have not yet ventured into the book project but one of my friends has done it a few times - he used Blurb and output was realy good.

I just always think they have the best options for presentation but there are many providers. I love them and think you'll be glad you did it. My only suggestion is that like so many things it is a better product if you can spend the time editing before hand. Your photographs, at least the ones you posted, deserve to have a print life, I think. I’ve made many of them through Apple IPHOTO since I’m an apple girl.

I'm going to try and process enough images to make up one of those hardcover photo books that one can get printed nowadays. Have either of you two made up one of those? If so, what did you think about the end product? Pat and Donald

Whew... that's a lot to work with. Do toss us a tidbit from time to time! I agree with Pat, great pattern and textures in these red rooftops and stained walls. 4500 images?
