Default Publish your own book!

I saw on a friend's flickr page awhile back that he'd published a book. Got me wondering how and here's the answer: Make your own book with Blurb

Very cool!

Thats cool.
An online friend of mine made two on a similar site. Can't remember what that site is called though now.
I've always wanted to collate my poetry together in a book one day

I have a friend that made a photo album like that - wish I could remember the name of the place. She got 2yrs of photos put into an album and it was so reasonably priced. Definitely worth considering. Someone else I know does the same thing with Photomax and the book they have done for themselves is a mission trip to Cambodia so there's lots of words in it too

Great idea!

One of my friend's daughter went to germany a few years ago with her grandparents. Her grandparents put together a book from a similar place with all the pics and story of their journey. It is a fantastic concept and something to be treasured.

Wow, what a great link. I started writing a novel when I was in Italy, if I ever manage to finish it I will be sure to use that site!

I've typed up a book about a person named 'Anita'- but I need to get around to finish it. But that seems like a drag sometimes (most of the time I forget all about it)

Cool....

If you don't want anything fancy like a properly bound book, another option is to go to somewhere like officeworks or snap printing and get a spiral bound book done. I've had books done there (I even had cardboard covers done at snap printing with solver foiled lettering).

Did anyone else look at the pricing on that site though? The more copies you purchase the more each individual copy costs!
