Book from Blog

If you don't know about this already, you should definitely explore the possibilities. I found a website that works with blogger to make a book from your blog. All you have to do is upload your blog URL to Blog2Print and they show you what it will look like. Below is the first page (after intro and table of contents) of what my book will look like.


It is a professionally printed book bound with a hard or soft cover. I have 70 long posts so far and it would be $45 for a hard cover book with every post and photo in it, $35 for a soft cover.

The cover

I think I will wait until Sai's first birthday to print the book. What an awesome way to preserve all the work I have done picking out the best photos and writing my thoughts at the time. *Think gift idea*. (Yay! I did make a baby book! You're welcome Sai, and Sai's future girlfriend...hehe)
The only problem that I found with this company is that they group all the pictures together, then the text is in a column next to the pictures rather than written after each picture as the blog displays. This ends up reading strangely for me because most of my text is commentary on a specific picture. It's still worth it though. I think you can edit the book and certainly take out some posts,...which gets me thinking, this post will be part of the book...hmmm.

Anyhow, get printing! I expect to see all of your beautiful work on your coffee tables!

ha! that's funny I was JUST yesterday looking into the same thing. I'll have to make a book per year I know, and I'm sure I'll edit some out, but I'd heard about Blurb, which looks like a good option too! Oh boy, I'll show you mine, if you share yours!
