WOW! It really did turn out great!!!! I can't wait to finish mine up and get it printed. I only got six months done of daily photos so I'm planning on including a bunch of other random photos to round it out. Hopefully it will turn out as good as yours

I love it!!
I got my notice today that my pictures are on there way to my house. I decided to put mine in sleeves since I keep things from our trips to display with the page for that day. Can't wait to put it all together.

Oh, yes, please do post pictures of the physical book! I'm holding off printing for a while till after we move house-- which gives me a chance to compare notes about printing companies. So I want to see details! How did they do with page margins and gutters? How tight is the binding? How does the paper feel? We're excited to see!
How awesome to have your book in hand by January 14th!!

Ok, here are some photos of the book. The quality is excellent. On two occasions I have had issues with the binding, but Blurb is fabulous in reprinting and rectifying the situation. I tried to take some close-up shots of the binding and details of the book. I also figured out the (almost) exact dimensions to center your image for the 12x12" coverwrap from Blurb. I don't know if we want to make that available as a template? I could do this if you want it.
Cover of book
Book completely open
Binding
Book open with binding
Giving credit
Inside binding is always white pages from Blurb
This is how the image wrap cover works
This pictures don't really do the book justice - it really looks awesome.

looks fantastic! I would love any blurb tips and dimensions that you could share!
I will go with a white background instead of my original black knowing that the white will be on the inside :)
thanks so much for sharing!!!
