Coming up to a 1 year anniversary since being with my girlfriend and I've decided to make a photo album of our time together as a gift.

Whats the best place to get this done? I need it to be quite flexible with layout (multiple photos on one page, not necessarily squared off to each other), but mostly it's going to be full page photos I guess. Wanting A4 size biggest but anything larger than A5 would be fine also.

Looked at Jessops (I know online orders are higher quality than in store for their books, and the opposite for 6x4s) and just wondered if anyone got something of good quality elsewhere they can recommend.

Oh, I'd also like a glossy finish too, higher quality is more prioritised over low price.

Have a poke around on my website; I list several you can consider. The current favourite from feedback here seems to be Blurb.

Even though Blurb have put their prices up recently, they still represent really good value.

I've had more than 1000 Blurb books and all but one delivery have been good quality. (They sorted out the bad one FOC)

Of the budget ones, I'd consider Blurb as the best quality. Should actually be a bit cheaper now as photobooks have now become zero VAT rated.

If you want really nice quality then Loxley Colour or Sim2000 would be the ones to go for, however they only work with registered photographers. If you want to give me a shout I can do design work and order one of their photo books (or even digital albums) at reasonable rates.
