For some time I have been considering scanning a lot of my colour slides and making photo books that can be passed down to my cousin's children. I hate the idea of all my slides going to the tip when I die. Having been to over 100 countries since 1968 I have a huge collection of images which are indexed and in filing cabinets. I used to have a small photo library business.
I chose Blurb.com from the many photo book-making websites as I had seen books from there and had very good recommendations. I had planned to do a small book from my digital photos while I learnt the Book Smart software you download and work with. But I couldn't wait to do a big book on a trip by schooner I did in Indonesia in 2006. I spent several days working on the book while the temperatures were around 40 and I had the aircon on! The book arrived last week and luckily it turned out well and I am very pleased with it.
Find my book here. Click the Preview to look through it and buy it if you like. It looks best full screen.
