Photobook

Hey all, I need to create a photobook about A5 size for a special occasion, but would like a customisable cover, however they all seem to be pricey at £19.99!! I called my friend and she said she got one from Jessops for £19.99 but it was BOGOF.
Does anyone know where I can get one from at a cheap price? I have looked at bonusprint and started to create one for £6.99 but it may be too small.

Are there any offers/discounts out there that can warrant the price?

Thanks for your help in advance.
Rob

    Hmmmm....thanks for the advice. I find their website too confusing, lol. I've tried to order a photobook....they are so expensive just for a bit of paper.
    I don't know what else to try. I've been creating one from bonus print as that is easier to use. I desperately need to get it done though. I wanted a customisable cover and their cheapest is £24.99 which is rather exstautionate.

    Any other cheap photobook websites you can think of?

    £24.99 seems like a bargin to me. I had a photographer come to my house. He done a photo book of my son. I paid £185 for it. I did get a cd with all the pictures on aswel and a free 7x5 photo.

    Im about to get one from truprint for £9.99 with my second son. They look the same as the other one i have got. Just not with 'professional' photos.

    I have never used them before so can't say what they're like, but I got an e-mail through for a 50% discount on photobooks from Albelli. It does involve downloading some software however.

    Discount code : FPBP50ALB

    Expires 31st July 2009

    I've always found photobox really easy to use, lots of different size and styels etc

    "A great summer saving!

    Any other photobook deals around at the moment? The Albelli software isn't great so would prefer an alternative.

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

    I have just received an email from Jessops and they have buy 1 get 1 free on all their photobooks. I ordered one from them at the start of the year as a present for my dad's birthday and it was very good quality and it looked really good too. Can't remember the exact cost of it but it was well worth the money.

    The only thing with the BOGOF offer is that both photobooks must be the same so don't know if it is any good to you. jessops.jpg
