Making a book on Blurb

Hey guys,

Phil's asked me to give you all a rundown on book making. And no its not scary, and no you don't have to do much work.

This mainly applies to the (Now) second years that are going to need to make a book for the summer project, but you can also apply it to anything, be that a sketch book or a book of pictures you found on the internet (delete your internet history).

Anyway, the website I used was

Blurb.com/uk

But there are other sites out there if you wish. On the Blurb site is a simple (but surprisingly good) program that you download and install. Once done, simply give it your blogger details, choose what posts you want and hey presto. Blurb does the rest. You can into it for more detail. I had move some pics around, like moving the important ones into bigger slots.

You order it off and it takes a few days to print and then a few days to get to you. The final product is excellent. I opted for the best paper and its was really worth it. The paper is very clear, crisp and strong. You can choose to have a dust cover if that floats your boat.

Heres some more details from Blurb:

And some pics of my book (not the greatest quality)









I can't stress enough how simple it is to make and how damn good the final product. If you need to make a book, theres nothing holding you back. And it was only £30 for a 150 page book of industry quality.

  1. Awesome, thanks Earl. It does look quite simple, I read that you can just send them a PDF as well, but I doubt that would turn out as well as using their software.

    We just need to make something to put in the summer book now, LOL.
