My book of our trip to the UK back in May arrived today. To put it simply....it's awesome.
After waiting anxiously most of the day, I finally heard the FedEx truck pull up in front of the house. I met the driver at the door and quickly opened the box.
What struck me immediately were the size (over 11" x 8.5") and the quality. It's readily comparable to any high-end coffee table book you'd get at Barnes & Noble, etc., printed by a "professional" publisher.
Page thickness is excellent, with no picture bleed-through from front to back, even on pages where the background colors are vastly different (i.e., black to white background, gray to white background).
My book includes both color and B&W pictures, several full-page shots, and the quality is consistent throughout.
Shipped, it cost $95 for 74 pages and a cover. There are about 135 of the best pictures I took, and the photos are nicely sized.
I will admit that I was a little concerned about how the photos would come out, even though I made sure that I followed the image sizing guide outlined on the MyPublisher site. I'm now happy to say that my fears were truly unfounded.
I uploaded the book last Monday, and it took 4 days to receive notification that it had been shipped. Total time from upload to having it in-hand......8 days.
Needless-to-say, I'll be ordering a second copy (at 40% off) to send to our London friends, with whom we stayed during our trip. After all.......they're in the book!!
Thank you, MyPublisher!
Sincerely,
Art Tedeschi
