My Publisher out of business
Feb 10, 2017 14:05:30 #
I travel a lot and do most of my photography while traveling. Afterwards I enjoy making a photo book using My Publisher. I have nearly a dozen of their 15x11.5 inch books on my shelf. They all have lay-flat pages and are all 100 pages. Does anybody know another company that makes a comparable product? I love the size of these books as the aspect ratio is nearly the same as what comes out of the camera allowing me to compose in-camera as I otherwise would. The lay-flat feature is also important for a two page spread. Today My Publisher sent an email that they will be closing down in early May and now I need to find a new company. All suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Shutterfly makes them also. I believe in several different sizes. They gave me a couple of free ones but they were 6.5x6.5.

There is a bookmaker module in Lightroom. Without clicking on the Send link, it looks like http://www.blurb.com

Zno produces beautiful books. You may also want to research picaboo but they are just okay in my opinion.

I use presto photo. I've been very happy with their product. You can choose type/quality of paper. They also are able to convert books made in apple's format to theirs.

I've used Adorampix for quite a few books.

Bay Photo is the best. They even have an optional 6 color printing along with the stay flat pages.

Another vote for Bay Photo - their work and customer service is first rate. A couple of nights ago, I uploaded a file for a 16x20 mounted print. It was late, I had numerous copies of the file, and attached the web JPEG version - 750KB by mistake. About 4 hours later, I realized what I had done and tried to cancel the order, but it had already been printed. I haven't received it yet, but I can't imagine what a 16x20 from a 750KB JPEG will look like 🙀. Anyway, long story short, the next morning I received an (unsolicited) email from Chelsea in customer service apologizing for not being able to cancel the order in time, but offering to reprint it with the correct file for 1/2 price. Now I consider that excellent customer relations and an endorsement of their company.

Please notice in your information from My Publisher that they suggest Shutterfly as an alternative. It has been known for quite some time that Shutterfly acquired My Publisher. I'm assuming their quality and features will be the same or closely so. I too have used My Publisher for many books and will be migrating to Shutterfly.
