Photo Books

Just about to do my first wedding for a while.
Can anyone recommend an online Photo Album Book site please?
Googled the words and came up with "Photobox", "My Photo Book" and "Bob Books" but I have no experiance with these sort of sites.

Blurb are pretty good - just don't use ImageWrap covers - these covers are printed on different media/stock than the pages and come out really dark. Apart from that though, good quality books.

I had one made using photobox and it was quite good quality but very expensive! I did though have 2 for 1 as there was an offer on. They do the photobooks offer every couple of months so its worth keeping a look out for it.

Blurb are good and I use them. They do have issues from time to time, but their customer service is second to none and possibly the best across the whole Internet that I have ever had to deal with. Worth looking into just for that aspect alone.

Do Blurb print in the UK? Seems a bit environmentally unfriendly to have them printed in the USA and flown over. Smugmug use a UK printer - I wonder if Blurb do as well.
