Lulu

Do you find that you are always the one with a camera at events with family and friends? Do you have a story that you have always wanted to share with the world? Not only can creators publish books, photo books, calendars, CDs, DVDs, video, periodicals and other content at Lulu.com, but they also retain complete editorial and copyright control over their creations. Lulu eliminates traditional entry barriers to publishing, and enables content creators and owners – authors and educators, professionals and amateurs – to bring their work directly to their audience, even if that audience is simply your own family.

Blurb

Blurb believes passionately in the joy of books – reading them, making them, sharing them, and selling them. Holding a finished book with your name on the cover is a truly amazing feeling; it’s one of those experiences everyone should have. As software people, designers, and publishing professionals, they realized that there’s no good reason why it should take tons of time, technical skills, big bucks, or friends in high places to publish a book. Or a zillion books, for that matter. Blurb.com has developed a creative publishing service simple enough to make anyone an author. If you have a Flickr account this software will interface nicely with your uploaded images.

Photo Book Publishing

Traditional book publishers in the United States published roughly 120,000 books a year. The average American adult watches nearly five hours of television per day. Do the math, and it makes sense that photo books are best suited for our fast-paced visual culture.

You choose the paint color of your room, then why not choose the exact book that sits on your coffee table? There are many self publishing services that will let you customize a book of your photos that can be everything from a vacation memory book to your wedding album and most of them are quite affordable and easy to use.
