Blurb?
Anyone in the blogosphere used Blurb?
I have the memoirs of a great aunt that I’ve been supposed to publish for way too long now. She died almost 10 years ago now and I’m still guiltily holding on to them. I couldn’t find a way to make copies available to the rest of the family without sinking a lot of my own money into it. One of my cousins and I have worked and thought and reworked and rethought the process but it’s still in manuscript form.
He recently sent me a link to Blurb, saying he’d seen a couple of very nice books from them. So I’ve investigated and I’ve downloaded the software. It reminds me of a more sophisticated version of the process I recently used to make a calendar at Walgreen with my photos from my recent trip to Ireland.
Seems like a good deal to me–I can order one book or several. Others, as in family members, can go to the site and order their own copy. I’m just wondering if any of you have first-hand experience. When I looked through the site, there were lots of memoirs and family histories. And the prices are not exorbitant. I like that I can get a hardback book for less than $50, perhaps significantly less.
I’d love to hear from you if you know Blurb. Otherwise, I’ll keep you posted on my experience.
