Default Photobook question

I have never printed a book before but want to do one for the pages I am doing of our last trip to India. If I am printing at 12*12 and save pages as a flattened jpg, does everyone compress pages to upload? What is the usual page file size?

Can someone please give me some advice?

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions to date. They are really appreciated.

I upload my flattened 12x12 jpegs to Shutterfly as they are without problems!
They've been anything from 3 to 12 Mb...

I've had problems with a Swedish manufacturer who didn't take files exceeding 5 or 6 Mb...
I believe different stores have different limits.
You have to examine the place you're going to order your book from!

My flattened 12x12 jpgs are usually around about the 10mb mark. They upload no problems.
