Thanks Jonathan (and other responders!). Really appreciate your taking time and effort to respond to these. I'll take a step back, consider all the suggestions before deciding the approach I'll adopt for the long term! :ty:

I'm looking into that option too after doing some more research last night. Seems some album makers will accept exported PDF files and convert to album. Discovered the export-to-PDF feature in LR5 somehow skews the paging in the output - swapping odd pages for even and vice versa, which of...

Blurb seems to be able to provide a preview service for nothing, however you cannot do any editing online, which is fine, as long as my clients can see what the album will look like and send me comments before it is committed to print. I appreciate Blurb's business model is different from AE's...

It's the subscription payment model I baulked at, for a service I'm unlikely to use more than half a dozen times in a year. I don't object paying over the top for something that I really want. Albelli do decent looking Layflats but just don't offer a limited time online preview accessible to...

Album Exposure expects me to sign-up with a $150/yr subscription for the benefit of using their services. Fair enough, but I'm already paying an annual subscription to Zenfolio so unfortunately that option is ruled out for me.:( I've signed up to Queensbury and it will take a couple of days for...

Thanks very much Jonathan. Looking like a lifesaver already. I'll review both in detail as soon as I get home and let you know. (Currently viewing both sites via my teeny iPhone screen). I just hope their prices are not outrageous! BTW - 200 pages - reporting on a celebration spanning a full...

Thanks for replying madmatt, I've used CEWE too and the only problem I have with them is that I can't make a preview of the photo book available to clients online, unless I invite them to my studio - another major deal breaker for me. Still looking for that product that ticks those 2 main boxes...

Thanks Irishman, the last album I prepared was 200 pages and just won't cut it sending 100 jpegs to a customer in order to preview the complete layout of a photobook! Nothing beats having the client preview it themselves online, a feature that Blurb offers.

:help: I reckon I posted this at the wrong end of the day hence no response so far!

I have 2 seemingly simple requirements for producing my photobooks but I'm finding it difficult to find a product that fulfils both 1. Give my clients the ability to preview the photobook online for a limited period before it is committed to print, without me having to first order the...

Why did I stumble upon this thread?! Now I can't go to sleep!

You can't go wrong with those...!

I rarely use TP except via my iPhone nowadays. Nice to be able to lie in bed and check out posts updates every morning or just before you sleep! :-)

Indeed it is! :-)
