online photobooks?

[KN]

Does anyone have any recent experience of using a online-produced photobook as a way of sharing old photos?
Do old photos reproduce to an acceptable quality?
Is there a company you would recommend?

We wonder if it would be a good way of sharing our best old pics with lots of family members.

thanks!

I have used BLURB for this https://www.blurb.com
and been very happy.

You can prepare the book 'offline' using their software Bookwright, which is an advantage I find. It is easy to move the pages around and add text as necessary.

Once you have registered with them you start getting emails for discounts and the trick is (and I am sure it is the same for similar sites) to wait for the good discount.
Blurb frequently have a 40% discount. But very occasionally they have a 45%

When you upload photographs they tell you if they are not of sufficient quality. Sometimes it is just a matter of shrinking them slightly. Other times a rescan and higher resolution is required.

OH has had a lot of success with Bob Books -  https://www.bobbooks.co.uk

Sounds a very similar process and product to Blurb above.
