There’s a one-click button to make an image span two pages.While the software says that you can choose from 50+ fonts, I found that it enabled me to use fonts I already had on my computer as well, so it greatly expanded my options.You can add and remove photo frames, resize and rotate them, and use the eyedropper to create custom font or background colors. The Book Maker software is easy to use – you just drag and drop photos onto the layouts and you can customize everything.This gives you the advantage of creating your book offline, which will appeal to some people but perhaps not everyone. Unlike the majority of photo book companies, MyPublisher has free book maker software that you download to your computer, rather than online software. I chose the Classic Hardcover, 11.25” x 8.75”, priced from $29.99 for the first 20 pages additional pages are 99 cents each, maxing out at 100 pages. Next, you choose from one of four book sizes ranging from an ultra-compact mini book to a deluxe, oversized landscape book. I’m kind of a control freak, so I used the Custom Publisher so I could lay out everything the way I wanted right from the beginning. When you start your book you have the choice of using the Custom Publisher which gives you total control over the design and layout, or the Simple Publisher, which will automatically fill your book and then you can tweak the layout. My Publisher’s photo books have a clean, elegant design, focusing on the images, so for a classy look that showed off my landscapes, it was a good choice for me. ![]() In fact, I think my book looks rather spectacular. ![]() Coincidentally, MyPublisher asked me to review their books so this was the perfect opportunity to check out their lay-flat option, and I’m glad I did. I’ve kind of gotten addicted to making lay-flat photo books, and after returning from a visit to Sedona and the Grand Canyon I couldn’t wait to make one to show off my photos of gorgeous red rock formations and amazing canyon views. ![]()
