Coffee Table Books

[Jill]

As many of you may already know I am a big fan of coffee table books for scrapbook pages..and have had many done through different vendors...mostly www.mypublisher.com

But I just ordered one and it came in today from www.bound2remember.com

WOW! It was gorgeous.....the binding of the book is totally different than what I had expected much more upscale looking than other services, the quality of the paper in the book is awesome, it is a thick stock which makes a huge difference and the faux suede cover is beautiful!

Not sure how many of you are aware that this service exists so I wanted to throw it out there....I have all my layouts bound into these books....and I couldnt be happier!

Just wanted to give everyone another alternative!

Jill thanks for posting..I am very much interested in these services I am getting some pages together to get a book done at mypublisher...Quick question for you...I would really like to see the cover of one of these books & how they print out...is there anyway you could take a couple snapshots of these things?

Also I'd love to see an example of bound to remember's too...they seemed a bit pricey but if the quality is tons better maybe it is worth it? :D Thanks!!!

[Jill]

I'll post photos in the gallery later today of both products...honestly..the cost of both books is pretty much the same...here is a cost breakdown for a 10 page book printed on both sides...(or 20 pages singel sided)

BOUND2REMEMBER (8.5x11)
$16.00 Binding
2.00 per page

so the book for 20 pages would cost 56.00 plus tax and S&H

MYPUBLISHER (9Hx12w)
$29.95 for 10 pages
2.95 each addtl page

Total here is 59.45 plus tax and S&H

and there is no comparison in the quality....bound2remember is awesome and you also get free embossing on the cover....

I promise to post photos when I can get a moment without my dd!

:d Thanks So Much!!! :d

I tried to take some photos..but they really don't reflect the difference in the products...the only way to see the difference is to feel and hold them....another big plus for bound2remember is the sizes they offer....mypublisher only offers the 9x12 which is really an odd size....

Just went over to that site and I am probably going to go with them..question if anyone knows..i do all my layouts in 8.5x11 Potrait and landscrape..can i get a 12x12 book done with them ?..I want them to all layout so that you dont have to turn the book to look at them..thanks if anyone knows

[Jill]

that should be no problem....you may want to include a note in the order for them to center the layouts on the page just in case, but they would probably do that anyway!

How did you get your pages to the places to be printed??

[Jill]

right now they are in testing mode for an FTP site to upload your layouts to...he hopes to have that up and running soon...(this is for bound2remember)..but for now you will have to save them to a CD, fill out a form you can download from the site and ship it to them.....

Mypublisher.com you can just upload to them on their site...
