I need 10 copies of a book, but slightly different covers ..

[dutchie44]

is this possible to do easily ... or, as I suspect, I have to create a book (on a Mac) , change the cover each time and upload 250Mb of data each time ...... x 10 ?

Hello Dutchie44 -
Yes, you are correct. If you make changes to the book, it needs to be uploaded each time. It's the only way we can be certain the entire book file remains together and correct.

I guessed right ... but surely, hopefully, in the near future, it would be possible to upload a book's files and then change one page or one cover and go straight to print ... there must be a way

I've just uploaded a classic book which was EXACTLY the same as a larger photobook which I uploaded 30 minuted previously, but I still had to upload the 250Mb of data again .... there MUST be a better way in the future, because it's a PITA .... :)

QUALITY IS BRILLIANT BY THE WAY, OUTSTANDING IN FACT ... just need those cover options on the Mac version!

I'm glad you love our PhotoBooks, and am sorry about uploading so many times. We don't get that many complaints about it - at least you know your book file remains in tact!

Sincerely,

it is a pain in the **** so hopefully it will be changed.

I also realise now from your FAQ's that there is no volume discount either ...

We have a volume discount for 40% off orders $100 or more and 20% off orders $50 or more, they have to all be the same book though.

Sincerely,
MyPublisher

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but couldn't you order 10 copies (without covers) of the same book, with the volume discounting, and then order your 10 covers separately. Then you'd have to upload the book only once and upload each cover separately.

ah, yes, but not on a Mac ....... :)
