I have not used Snapfish, however, a chain fast food seafood place offered a free photo book from Shutterfly if you had a few receipts for dinners. We got the little booklet and I wondered if the ordinary snap shooter out there would have probs putting the books together...

You do have to join the site, at least for a while. You have to upload enough images to the site to make the album.

If this is anything like Snapfish offeres, which I do not know, the book is a nicely done 8" x8" hardcover with a nice shiny print on the cover and a smaller one on the back.  We got 22 pages of drop shadow images printed on semi- glossy paper with text. The photos are printed as  part  of the page on decent stock. The booklets can be recommended and I do plan to do another sometime, one I pay to get.

You might go to www.shutterfly.com and check out their photo books and compare..  I  found the booklet we got a nice way to record a portion of time in our lives and do it with a simple selection of photos and  thoughts.   No, it is not a "coffee table book" but for the price is worth it to hold a few memories..

As with any online printer, it is advised to have a print or two made to see now color interpretation balances with your view at home and the actual print. I would not order a "photo book" without knowing already if printed color is what I want to see.
