I take a lot of bird photo's and have been asked for a book of bird photo's. I recently purchased a years subscription of Zenfolio, but they do not have an option for Photo Books when ordering from a lab. I know some labs that offer Photo books but need the client to be able to select photo's that they want.

TIA

Google Photos automatically saves to the cloud and they provide an optional service to print photo books. I just did one with 40 photos for a cost of $28 including shipping. Paperback, not fancy, but I thought the cost was reasonable.

I just ordered a few from Printique by Adorama. Their interface is easy to use, the quality is amazing even for their least expensive items. Colors are spot on. Black and whites have great contrast. Only downside is they a pricier than other places. I have used shutterfly as well, which was just ok. Best to order an inexpensive book from 2 or 3 places to see which is best for you.

I create books through LrC and use Blurb, their printing partner. Beautiful results.

I also have a Zenfolio account, and they absolutely have an option to purchase photo books. You need to enable selling in the gallery and turn on the shop pages when setting up the page layout options. For books I recommend using a thumbnail page.

Interesting. I even chatted with their support and they said they did not have an option for books. I will try to create a gallery and see if I can find what you are describing.

Thank you so much!

I've used Shutterfly for a dozen or so photobooks, and strongly recommend it. Easy to use, either with templates or your own freehand design. Quality has always been excellent. If you get on their email list, you'll be offered significant discounts.
