Title: Hard Cover Photo book publishers
Post by: Dave Gurtcheff on August 02, 2011, 01:45:40 pm
I have recently teamed with an interior designer. I made a series of interior photos, and the client wants a hard bound book. The images are 3/2 (35mm) format, 10" wide uncropped. I initally printed these on 8.5"x11"" paper, and want to keep this uncropped format in an 8.5"x11" book. Can anyone suggest a good company with "useable" software? I did down load from a vendor, and their software insists on full bleed 8.5"x11", and my photos are all cropped, sometimes leaving inportant features out. I realize there will be empty white page space to handle the 10"x6.7" images.
Thanks in advance

Blurb (www.blurb.com) will let you upload a PDF so you can avoid any software issues and just do the layout in InDesign. They have a variety of sizes too. Print quality can be hit or miss though, but when you get a hit they're nice.

good experience, great quality, foil stamped cloth hard bound. As with Blurb, you design your book in InDesign, export to pdf based on their settings...
