Trying out some interesting new Photo Book options

If you are a Facebook user, you may have recently seen ads for a couple of relatively new Photo Book products.

One of them, Chatbooks, comes with a very funny advertisement.  You will especially enjoy this ad if you are a busy mum who can’t imagine having time to make a photo book!  As an ‘old’ mum, I must say it even made me chuckle.
The other product I have seen more recently, called Zno (www.zno.com), features books that appear to have beautiful thick ‘cardboard’ pages, like those that cost a fortune from a professional photographer.  They feature ‘flush mount’ and ‘lay flat’ books.

These books look like they might be great for very special occasions - they are much more expensive than those which I usually order.

As a huge fan of photo books, I was couldn’t help myself - I had to try out each these products to see how they 'stack up'.

Last month, I ordered my first Chatbook, made very quickly using photos that were featured in a recent family slideshow.  The only thing that took any time was deciding on the cover photo for the book (which ended up being an old black and white photo that I had scanned).  

This Chatbook arrived on Friday 21/4, after being ordered on 31/3 - over three weeks to arrive from the US (much, much slower than our usual provider, who only takes 3-4 business days).

The book is OK - if you like a very, very simple photo book.  I have included a few photos of the book below, to give you an idea.

​It is very small, at 6 inch square (or 15.24 cm square) - much smaller than I would typically order.    It just shows the photos at the 'snapshot' size, one photo per page.

I must say that, having ordered the hardcover version (instead of the cheaper soft cover), it does sit very nicely on a shelf - a lovely unframed photo that has lots of snapshots shown behind it.  You can see it in the 1st image above, sitting next to one or our larger photo books of a trip to Uluru (created using Snapfish).  The cost of this Chatbook was AUD$40.70 - for 94 photos plus the hardcover.

What about Zno photo books?

I have just ordered a ‘test’ book from Zno, as they have an offer that allows you to order your first book for free (normally USD$50).  The only cost is delivery, at USD$12 (around AUD$16.50).  Delivery timeframe for that one looks like it will be a similar that of Chatbooks (they both come from the US).

I’ll report back when I get my Zno book - containing some of my favourite scenery shots taken with my iPhone over the past 2 years.

I can't wait to put together a photo book of my trip!  Why not join me?

Picture
I am just about to undertake some post-trip therapy, by commencing work on a digital photo book of our trip.  

I will be setting aside time over the next month or two to work on this book (which might end up being multiple books, given how many photos we took in the 7 weeks away).

For those of you who have already attended the 'Make a Digital Photobook' class at iTandCoffee and would like a bit of a refresher - or just to get some assistance with your own book - why not join me to make your own photo book while I make mine!  

Below are the dates that I am proposing to set aside for this activity.  Just fill in the below form with the date/s that you would like to come, and with your contact details.  I will then send a confirmation email prior to the date.  Cost will be just $20 per date, including tea and coffee.

Check out our photo book cost comparison

iTea&Coffee has this week prepared a beautiful 72 page photo book for a client.  

This book was prepared using Snapfish (www.snapfish.com.au) and took advantage of their 50% off summer sale (which ends 31/1/2013).

With several further photo books about to be started, we have done a comparison of the various photo book websites, to compare the price of an equivalent or similar sized book developed with each of these companies.  

There are major differences in pricing, so it is worth shopping around before you start.  And keep an eye out for sales and discounts - especially with companies like Groupon.

Check out the embedded document below to see the results of this analysis before you start a photo book of your summer holidays, recent overseas trip or memory book!

Below is the comparison as an image and in PDF format - so that you can see it on your mobile device as well as computer!
