Digital Home Thoughts: Make Your Own Coffee Table Book

"Vacations, graduations and weddings are just a few examples of summer events that yield goldmines of valuable memories in the form of digital photos. It’s easy to print these pictures, just like we did with regular film, and then take the pictures and put them in albums. But this “old-school” approach to photo sharing offers little of the flexibility inherent to digital media: mixing, editing, cropping, enhancing. You can do more with digital pics, such as printing your own photo books. It’s not hard, and it isn’t terribly expensive. And nothing beats the control and fine-tuning available to you when you’re a self-publisher. There are many different services currently available, which provide varying degrees of photo book flexibility. Some of these services are online-only, where the user never needs to install anything. Other applications require a client download of some sort that needs to be installed and run on your local computer."

To be honest, I have never made a coffee table book, although I have friends that certainly have them and take great pride in showing them off. I like this article because it is quite thorough with analyzing the various players in the mrket. Based on the article alone, I would like to give Snapfish a try because it looks pretty easy to use. Have any of you create coffee table books?
