I have made a number of photobooks for clients and used Pikto, here in Toronto.
Oddly enough many of the clients were landscapers (hardscape and greenscape) and they reported back that having these things to show prospective customers was a huge advantage. These clients are, shall we say, fairly rough and ready, and the elegance of the presentation lifts them up several notches from their competition.
I chose Pikto over others like Blurb, firstly because of the quality – they are high grade printers, but also because of the available sizes. They go up to 12x18” and when open the image can be quite stunning.
Not cheap! But at least the cost is in Canadian dollars which is a bargain these days. They also have a long history in the business.
