Photo/Profile books

Which online photo book sites have you found to have the best deals and are the most user-friendly?

We have to make 15 profile books and obviously want to find the best deal we can as I know these can be quite expensive, but I don't want to downplay the importance of putting together a quality product for our future BM to see.

Suggestions? 

Thanks!

    I used scrapblog (which is now mixbook). I could customize pages, then download hi-res files and have them printed anywhere. We chose kinkos.

    For larger books (ours was only 2 pages) you can use something like snapfish or shutterfly. Shutterfly runs promos all.the.time.

    Ours was 20 pages and we used Mixbook.  I have now used both Shutterfly and Mixbook and mixbook allows you to be more creative.  Both send emails for discounts on a regular basis and you can also do an internet search for coupon codes.

    We bought CraftArtist for our computer ($30-40), then printed at Staples. Our books were $15/book - front and back color pages, coil binding, vinyl cover and back.

    Best deal we could find, plus we can print whenever we want and have them ready ASAP. Plus, they run printing sales. Our last order of 20 books was 50% off.

    We wanted to be able to print our profiles at home so that individual pages could be changed if we wanted to update something. We bought Memory Mixer software for about $30 and binders and sheet protectors at Staples. The software also allows you to email the profile and even make video presentations.
