I'm going to turn my last 30-ish years of family photos into 30-ish photo books. I made one a few years ago with Bob Books and was very happy with the outcome; it's a 12" square lay-flat hardback book printed on semi-gloss photo paper and it looks and feels great. I'm going to adopt that style for our project.
So I guess the questions I have are:
(1) Quality. Are there any book printers who are definitely a bit better than the rest? Any that I should avoid?
(2) Software. As I'm going to be putting a lot of photos into a lot of books, it feels like the software ergonomics are going to be important. I don't need or wants lots of pre-designed templates, but I do want to be able to create and re-use page layout templates as easily and efficiently as possible. Should I be looking for offline software, or are the printers' online software tools OK? Any that stand out? Any to avoid?
(3) What else is important, that I haven't yet realised is important?
Thanks for your help.
