have you seen photobooks?
« on: Wednesday 15 October 08 17:52 BST (UK) »
I just had to share this as i am soooooooooooooooooo pleased with it.  I really wanted to make a book to about my family history to share with my family.  I made a photobook (Jessops website) with loads of photos and also lots of information and scanned documents etc.  It is amazing, my family are all so pleased, it really is a proper hardback book and goes back 5 generations. 

Everyone is waiting for volume 2 but i think that will be a while!!

Hi Sara

They are great. Do you mind me asking how much they cost and how many leaves there are in them.

This one is A4 size and it starts at 26 pages and then goes up in multiples of 8 up to 96(ish) so its your choice.  I got this when there was a half price off on so it only cost my 10 quid!!  Although i would quite happily have paid 20 as the quality is fantastic! 

I think its a couple of quid for every extra 8 pages. There is a price list on jessops website.  I have made another A4 and smaller square book and a little booklet(only 6 pounds)

well worth it i'd say!!
