Thanks to my friend Karman for telling me about this.

Not sure if you guys are familiar with teambuy.ca, but it's this site that gets huge discounts on things, provided there are enough people that buy it.

Today's (May 6) teambuy is 67% off a 40 pg medium landscape image wrap photo book from photobook.ca. Final price is $30 with free shipping. I think the teambuy deal is only good for one day, but once you buy it, you can choose to use it whenever you want.

So you submit digital images and they print the book?

I think there's a software you download that you use to put the book together...

Has anyone used it before? Is it customizable, etc?

Whoa!!! They are thieves :shock: I get my photobooks from artscow fr like $20 with shipping and the quality is mind blowing. I recently printed a 8x8 30 page photobook of my baby's pic cost me $11 with their discounts including shipping.

Last time I got my photobooks from Artscow, the colors were all screwed up. Way too orange when it shouldn't be.

According to this review, photobook.ca has one of the best quality prints out there.

I ordered 2 but didn't get any confirmation email (other than the instant one you receive immediately) that the buy went through last night...

any news?

Well, I'm sad I didn't get in on the deal then.

But honestly don't have any photos that I consider thematic enough to print a photobook yet. =/
