Photo book

I want to create a photo book and am unsure which way around to do it. I do not want to print it at home as my printer is not too good. I think I have 3 options:

1 Use a dedicated site to create a book eg snapfish - I am not sure this will give me the flexibility with regard to adding captions and is not too cheap, but I expect the quality is good and this would be the simplest option
2 Use Photoshop - extremely flexible but will take me ages - I think, I could get each page printed on photopaper and get it bound.
3 Use publisher to create a booklet and have this printed

Would photoshop give me a better quality final print than publisher? It's ages since I've used it but would a 300dpi resoltion be ok?

Any other suggestions most welcome

    Hi eevie i used Photobox www.photobox.co.uk for a special book of our ruby wedding it came out great you can pick from a few sizes mine cost about £18 (square stylebook) with different themes the only thing was i tried to put to many pics in it at first I think it takes about 77 photo's in the basic one. You can pick different pages settings with 1 to 6 pics and put writing on them in different fonts and you can add extra pages as well. When it arrived i was delighted with it. This as been admired by everyone who has seen it.It took me quite along time to do it but you can do so much then save it and go back to it.
