My good friend Jason has just posted an epic review of the online Blurb-style book printing companies. He compared 12 different consumer-focused providers and wrote an incredibly detailed review of each (15,000 words, 80+ photos, 12 videos!).

...but has anyone any info about "professional" services in Europe?
The leading provider, whose name I forget, who is at the shows and Pro Inst meetings, produces absolute rubbish, with dreadful pixelization... if you produce pictures that would look sharp at A2, they make them look awful at A4/3.
...and I think they they are "only for professionals" and will not let you use their service, or even quote a price, unless you are an established pro, and they approve a sample of work you send them!
Maybe their pictures look rubbish because they are, and the "top pros" who use their service use 6Mpx cameras? (and then crop to half frame?)
