My Brother-in-Law and I are collaborating on a book of photos we have both taken of wildflowers in the Jackson Hole area. We are close to done editing our photos, but are looking for recommendations of photo book services. Neither of us has experience with any of the current services. Wirecutter recently recommended Mixbook Photo Co. That is the first I have heard of them, but welcome any thoughts on that company or others.

When I published my book in October 2019, I had spent the previous two weeks researching book publishers. Mixbook was my #2 choice. #1, and the one I went to because they could print as few as one book ($39 for 174 color pages; soft cover) and they offered bar codes, was BookBaby.

Thanks for the recommendation.

If you use Lightroom, the internal connection to Blurb makes it very easy to make a book in either soft or hard cover.

I use Lightroom but my Brother-in-Law does not.

I have used Shutterfly in the past for some family photos. They came out quite nice. I’m going to try ZNO. I have never used them before and hope they do a great job.

Blurb and Shutterfly have both worked well for me.

I use Adorama's book service. I don't recall the name at the moment, but I have been very pleased with the results. They offer choices of cover, paper style and color and aspect ratio.

Adorama's book service is now called'Printique'.Excellent quality, choice of photo paper, multiple formats. Highly recommended.

Don't know how their prices compare, but both PublishingXpress and PrintingCenterUSA offer photo book printing. I've used them for other kinds of printing jobs and have found both to create quality work at good prices for the products I was interested in.
