Not a camera question per se.

Has anyone used any of the on-line or download software packages to create a book of their lighthouse travels/adventures? If so, what did you use?

I have used iPhoto for my Powerbook, but it has a 100 page limit. I need more space, but I do like the automatic map feature in the latest version of iPhoto.

Apparently you need to hire an editor or do it in Volumes...

Robert,

I just published 2 books this past month. I used www.mypublisher.com. They were running a special on the first book I made for buy 1/get 1 free. This worked well since I needed 2 copies of the same book. The second book I just submitted on Monday and was able to get 50% off my entire order.

They are very good to work with if you have a problem. I had a name left off from a photo in the first book I made. I called them and they said they would re-do the 2 books at no cost. They were $106.00 per book. I was shipped the 2 new books within 48 hours and was told to keep the 2 original. Great customer service!

I'm awaiting receipt of a shipment of a new book I've published using the same printer who printed the Official Harbour Lights Collectors Guide.

If you or anyone you know is looking for printing books in quantity, please contact me for pricing.

Depending on the type of binding and number of pages, the minimum quantity may be 250 copies. The price will vary depending on size of book, number of pages, type of binding, color vs. black and white etc.

I can get a printing quote within 2-3 days. Production includes a full color bound proof and usually takes about 45 days from submission of the book until delivery of the order.

The book I'm awaiting now is a 100 pages 8.5x11 four color soft cover with wire-o binding. It is a history/cook book for a beloved 60 year old Methodist Camp on the top of a 7,700 foot mountain in Arizona.

It includes over 120 of my photographs taken at the scenic camp. A small group of us donated our services to write, design and market the book. A donor family paid for the printing. The book price is $20 -- all of the income from sales goes to scholarships for youth and kids to attend the camp. We expect to raise $30,000 for this fund through sales.
