Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I'm so thrilled to have it done!
I thought I'd let you know how my book turned out...
I had a buy one, get one free offer from Inkubook so I wound up printing a 12 inch Blurb version (with the new ProLine uncoated paper and matte cover) and an 11 inch (regular paper, matte cover) and 8.5 inch (regular paper, glossy cover) version from Inkubook. The ProLine paper is great and extremely durable. The Blurb book is much thicker than the Inkubook version because of the higher quality paper. I can't say that I like one better than the other. I think because the Inkubook is cheaper overall I would probably go with that one in the future. I do love the Blurb book though and the paper quality is great.
Anyhoo...just my two cents...thanks again for all your kind words. I'm very flattered!
