You must read this if you want to make your own photo album using an online book printing service. I am not joking. This guy (who has such a lovely Canadian accent in his videos) spent over a year working on photobooks. He created a baby album, had it printed, and hated it, so he spent 6 months (after the initial 9 months of creating the perfect baby book) testing out the top photobook contenders. There is a video for every book with all the pros and cons along with a description of the process for each service. A huge thank-you to Jason Dunn and his hard work.
