Default Picaboo Photo Books
Hello,
I went through the pages of GDT(General Digital Talk) and didn't see any reviews of Picaboo photo books. Does anyone order from the company?

I just used them to order some calendars but have never used them for books. The software for making the calendar was very easy to use, my only complaint with it is that their calendars are not full bleed. The colors all looked great and I did not notice any darkening. I am happy with the result and would order from them again.

I would just make sure that the books are available with full bleed first.

I never heard of them. I would be curious to hear how you liked the company!

Just got my first Picaboo book with lay flat pages. It's even better than Shutterfly. My book cost was about $48 per book, 25 pages, 12X12. I ordered 2 for my sons, otherwise they get upset. The book cover is not padded as Shutterfly, but the quality is way better. The pages were trimmed like in preview, I didn't have any chopped pictures. The pages are not cardboard hard, they are regular photo paper. I found groupon which expires in 2 days and it's a good deal for bigger books. If somebody can't find it at groupon, here is my email and I will send you a link. elenavc@charter.net I transferred my photo book pages into Shutterfly share site. You can find it here http://share.shutterfly.com/action/w...=8BZMmrFy5cN5M

I have used Picaboo for collage posters and the quality is SUPER! Very professional. I made one of spring flowers and one of fall landscapes and the colors were brilliant. I made a few with football photos of my nephew and other friends and all were wonderful .. the boys and their parents loved them. So, if their book printing is of the same quality as their collage printing, I'm sure it is a great product.
