Experience with on line photo book making? Which is best?
Just for yourself:
https://www.48hrbooks.com/ was the best deal, good to work with. Ask to see examples of the various types of papers and printing.
For selling your book, some friends have used Blurb. Not sure how many sales resulted from Blurb's pushing it, but you do have paying options for potential customers.
I used Adoroma and was very satisfied with the final product.
Was your experience producing a book of photographs?
My experience was producing a book of BW and color photos and text.

Blurb is popular because you get an interface from Lightroom. One stop shopping.

I like and use shutterfly. I assemble my photo book on line and then wait for shutterfly to offer a deal on the book, at which time I order it. You can save your book in "my projects" until a big sale comes up.
I've used several, but I've settled on Adoramapix. They often have sales. You can organize your book and then wait for a sale - or not. I prefer to do the layouts myself, rather than try to fit pictures into their boxes. They work pretty fast.

I have only used Blurb for ten copies and I am quite satisfied. They will pepper you with 35% or 40% off offers. Be sure to take advantage of one of these.

I have used Shutterfly for years and love them!! I custom make my albums and wait for a sale. They once in a while have a “free extra pages” sale. I make a lot of albums of my travels and of different family events.
No one is going to look at my external hard drive nor in my computer to look for my photos....soooo Shutterfly, for me, is great. They will remember “Meme and Gramps” when we are no longer around, and as eons go by, laugh at what we wore.
I use Blurb and build the book in the LR Module. Nice products.

Google reviews of the providers. I can tell that several family members and
friends have had excellent result with Shutterfly.
