"I made a photocopy of a type of "Yearbook" of a World War II Navy Escort for an elderly widow-friend of mine. I scanned each page at the highest quality, saved them as .tiff files, and then converted them to highest quality .jpg files. I printed them on my photo printer, and they looked great. I uploaded them to Blurb, and had a book made. All of the photos from Blurb look awful! All the photos have "cross-hatch" marks going through them so the pictures are hard to even see! Something happened in Blurb's process of converting these .jpg files to the .pdf files that they use. I contacted customer support, sent them a copy of the pages to illustrate the problem, and all they did was send me another copy of the same book with the same problem. I could tell my elderly friend was disappointed! I made a copy of another yearbook with a different company, and it looked great."

"The Blurb software won't open. Twice this has happened. The support suggested I uninstall and reinstall, I did, it worked until I closed the software and what do you know...it won't open again. Really poor software. I am willing to give it one more try if they can offer a solution as I'm in the middle of creating my book. Very frustrating."

"I've published a number of family history and a poetry book using Blurb. I've always been pleased with the product, except for one time (and they replaced that faulty printing).
One of the books even won an award. "

"The ease of creating a book is a delight. One of the few applications I do not have to have a grandchild nearby to help me navigate through. The finished books are beautiful. We are going to offer this option for all artists exhibiting in our gallery.

"Blurb is an easy-to-use format for putting all of your ideas and pictures together in an extremely professional way. I reccomend it to all of my friends and am preparing my 24th book as I write. It makes a great way to honor a person's birthday, yearly travel book, photo collections, writing collections and combinations. It just opens up a whole to world for the creative aspect of anyone's soul."

"I'll keep it short. Blurb is great, awesome and worth it 100%. I could be done but just to be more focused. The print quality is super and the book binding is amazing for the money. Blurb is NOT a cheap, quick, sloppy product. Can blurb match professional quality books? They come pretty darn close. I've seen some Pro quality books that don't look half as nice as a blurb book. Do you need to know great amounts of stuff to do it. Well, I'm going to go with "you get the product, you put the time in with." You want to spend the time to watch the video tutorial on the site and do you own leg work then you get a better book. "

"Of all the experiences I have had on my PC, creating my very own book of my adventure on New Zealand's North Island just has to be the very best.
From beginning to end I found the whole experience to be one of ease and simplicity but strong enough to create a finished article of amazing quality. Even the package & delivery was quite excellent. I received my book within four days of uploading & was thrilled by the genuine bookstore quality.
I have had many rave reviews from everyone who have seen my book & this has really boosted my confidence so much that I shall soon be taking on making books for family & friends while hopefully being able to make a small profit on the side. Kudos to Blurb for an amazing product which I highly recommend to anyone considering creating their very own piece of literature. You won't believe the thrill you will get when you see a book of this quality with your name on it! Great stuff, Blurb! "

"I wrote a 440 page book documenting my father's WWII experiences. The quality of the book was unbelievable, and it is now my most cherished possession. One copy had an extra page and customer service replaced the book immediately. I was extremely impressed. Since then, I created two other books, and I have been 100% satisfied with the quality and service. The prices are high for large books like mine, but I cannot really say it was not worth it (and it was comparable or better than other companies). Additionally, Blurb is pretty good about helping to motivate us (and help our budgets) by sending out 25% off coupons. Like many others, I surely appreciate that! I LOVE BLURB!"

"Blurb is a wonderful opportunity for self-publishing, without a minimum order. The shipping (even at slowest) is quick, and books packaged well. The templates and tools are fairly easy, but take lots of focus and concentration! You are now a publisher! "
