I enjoy making photo books. I've used iPhoto templates and blurb.com templates. I've also used lulu.com to make family calendars. Lulu was less expensive, and they offer more variety in sizes and types of books, but you must create the book online instead of downloading free software as blurb offers. For iPhoto, everything's already on the computer (as part of the iPhoto/iLife program) and you can print pages (or calendars) on your own printer if you choose to. Lulu and blurb don't allow this. The proof PDF for blurb has a watermark on each page.
I linked to this page from one of the Peachpit Press writers because I wanted to look at the examples in more detail before starting the next book project: stories about my daughter.
Also blurb has a photo book contest that I'm interested in trying: http://pbn.blurb.com/.
. . .I will drink Life to the lees: All times I have enjoy'd Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those That loved me, and alone, on shore, I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethro' Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades For ever and forever when I move. And this gray spirit yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. From Tennyson’s Ulysses
