I've got 2 sets of photos I want to make into a book, they're of my dad at driving experience days he had for his birthday last year at Silverstone and Oulton Park. As a Mac type my automatic thought was to use the book maker in iPhoto, but I know there are a few other options out there online like blurb.com and photobox.co.uk. So which one is best? I do want it to be a quality item hardback and a decent page size.

Blurb are better quality than photobox and much, much, much cheaper. I do use photobox for prints though, and they are great. Never used the Mac software, but hear it's fine.

Just used Blurb again for a wedding book. The software (Certainly the Mac version) is flexible and you can adapt the pages to be whatever you want. It is a little resource hogging but works well and the last books I've had from Blurb have been excellent.

Blurb also do a Book from PDF, which if you've got other software you prefer using may be a better option for you.

The only book I had done from Photobox had to be redone.

I have done couple from Jessops. I was impressed and happy although I worked for them at the time. We didnt get many complaints. Usually user error stuff.
