Blurb – Make your own Book

June 11, 2007 · 1 Comment

This site has free software for you to create your book and they will print it.

http://www.blurb.com/home/1/

You can take a peek at other people’s books for ideas or buy the whole book.

I have been playing around with the software and it offers several different book and page layouts, but if you want to do anything truly unique seems like you will need to build out the page in Photoshop, etc. Still very flexible though!
