I just ordered the “Perfect-Bound Book” from QOOP using my Flickr. QOOP is the companion to flickr that does the physical printing of your digital photos. While I’m not so hot about paper, I’m coming up to my anniversary with my wife, and exchanging paper is supposed to be part of the first year ceremony.
We’ve decided that we’ll make a photo book from my flick pics (no bloggers, you’re NOT going to be in it) It’s just pics of us on our travels, interesting food we’ve sampled in Europe, and whatever else fancies us –here’s the order:
Order:
1 x Jeremiah and Shirley
Beginnings (flickr Photo Book)
Color Cover, Color Pages
Double Sided
Page Size: 8.5 x 11
Number of Pages: 68
Binding: Perfect Bound
$32.19
Has anyone else used QOOP? I’m hoping this book could be nice enough to end up on our shelf or on the coffee table.
While printing photos is not new, I think this is yet another interesting way how content is being controlled by the participants and then morphed into something new. Speaking of morphing, I recently ran into Scrapblog, which let’s anyone create a scrapbook like experience with your photos.

No QOOP before, but Apple’s iPhoto books are certainly coffee-table worthy. Let us know how it comes out… off the top of my head that price does look better than the iPhoto books.

Isn’t everything more expensive with Apple? Ya pay for the brand I guess.

Jeremiah,
Thanks for spreading the word about Scrapblog. I’ve ordered books from both, iPhoto and QOOP, and I’m sure you will be happy with the quality of the book you ordered. Happy anniversary to you and your wife!

My sister’s friend used Blurb, with much success. Don’t tell my parents, but my sister and I are using that to published a cookbook of family recipes.
I’ve also been reasonably impressed with the printed books you can make in the Kodak Easyshare Gallery, though I’ve only used that in a limited test and I’m not sure how its functionality compares.

Ah, I forgot to give an update, it turned out great. I give my thumbs up to order from them.
Thanks for asking, I’ll prob order some other ones
The challenge is deciding if I should label all the photos or not.
