You make the yearly trip to Miami’s Winter Music Conference, spend most of your summers basking in the Montauk sun, throw yourself the bangin’est birthday bashes, and live to tell about an infinite number of all nighters- way too many to recall. You undoubtedly have the sickest collection of photography anyone’s ever seen! One day you even plan on publishing these photos, making your coffee table book the most significant photo chronicles of our time, beautifully encased in a hardback and proudly protected in a showstopping dustcover. Wait no longer, it’s time to get your long awaited book published!
Sorry to bubble burst, but you’re definitely not the only one who’s had this brilliant idea, although, you very well could be one of the few to see your idea materialize. Blurb.com invites users to download their free “Booksmart” software, choose your style of book, add photos and text, upload your work and snap! Your professionally bound and ready to display masterpiece should arrive in about 7-10 work days! And, to further your exposure, your book automatically goes into the website’s bookstore, available for public purchase. (Careful of those naughty photos!)
Not much of a partier? There’s a template for several different styles of books guaranteed to appeal to one of your creative bones. A personal or business portfolio, cookbook, poetry book, baby book, and even Typepad and Wordpress blog entries each have their own template. You have the option of 3 different book qualities, hard or soft cover and several page layout options. Blurb books are one of the most clever and personal holiday gifts we’ve ever seen. Prices start at $29.95 and the books can be as lengthy as 120 pages.
Get bookin’ to ensure timely holiday delivery!

I am part of a start up company, and after reading your post on Blurb, I thought you might like to know about beta iMemoryBook as well. It is an online memory book system that we just released. Unlike blurb there is nothing to download because it is all Web 2.0 (drag and drop). Plus it is completely collaborative. You whole family can get together and create a book. Take a look at it. http://imemorybook.com/memory-book
Next year we will be releasing a import feature that works for:
Blogs, MS Word, and even Online Obituaries
Happy Christmas,
