MixBook?

[Bessops]

I have been considering making a photo book through the site MixBook, and they seem to be very similair to ShutterFly. Their books look really nice and you seem to have a lot of options, but I still can't decide. Here's a link to a Disney Book someone had previously done: http://www.mixbook.com/photo-books/t...y-2010-4968139

I was wondering if anyone had bought from here before? and if you did, did you like it?

I have one on the way. I ordered the same book from 4 companies to compare (I need 4 copies). I will post my opinion when it arrives. I used to own a photobook company, so I'm a bit picky!

Just wondering if you received your 4 books. I would love to hear your review of each company.

I have received the mixbook. The others are on their way.

I'm not impressed. They did a terrible job trimming the pages. They are all supposed to be full bleed - meaning the designs go right to the edge. Some are, some aren't. The printer isn't lined up very well when printing double sided, causing the images to be off a little which makes it very hard to trim. So, my pages all have random white edges. I took photos of the book and sent them in today. I'm hoping they offer to reprint and take my advice for how to fix it.

I'll post more about the others when they arrive.

I received my Shutterfly book today. Way better than mixbook. The colors are richer, darker and more vibrant. The paper is just a little heavier. The pages are trimmed perfectly. The only thing I don't like about the Shutterfly book is that it's perfect bound - meaning the pages are glued into the binding as opposed to sewn. I prefer sewn for longevity.

Thanks so much for your feedback!
