I was wondering if any of you have used the Blurb application/service to create a book from your Flickr images? What is the quality like? I was thinking of gathering some sets of my drawings and printing them. I think the 101 paint chips would look cool as a book. Limited editions?

Magdziarz used qoop once and the product was very nice. that's all I know
Stacey Peterson printed up a book of her work to use as a portfolio and seemed to be happy with the results.

I was thinking of using blurb to do a book based on some of my blog posts.
Your idea sounds much more interesting.
I have a show catalog printed by blurb. It's the 7" square format, 38 pages, and many/most are printed on both sides. 28 images. It's a photographer's work, and they're the sort of photos which are dreamy to look at in person. I must say, the catalog is decent. It looks like he used the "silky" more opaque paper, which isn't that much more (according to the Blurb prices). It's not thick paper, put it prints well imo.
I assume the software does not convert to CMYK, and even if it does, how to judge color on a home printer? This is what trips me up when I try to have postcards printed. (I have Photoshop Elements, which doesn't convert to CMYK.)
But, the color looks good on the catalog I have. The 38-pager does have a glued spine, so it makes a cute skinny "book".
Thanks ladies. I knew I could count on you. I will eventually do this.
