The book created with Mixbook arrive very quickly, I was actually very impressed without how quickly it arrived.  (I’m a few days late writing this, it arrived on Thursday.) I was even more impressed with how well the book turned out.  I was afraid that once printed the pictures wouldn’t look as good but they ended up being as good as they could be considering how poor the originals were.  Overall, I’d recommend Mixbook but I think next time I will try Picabook simply for some of the extra options available.

Groupon was nice enough to offer a deal to Mixbook several months ago so I picked one up and decided to make a wedding album.  I know it’s been years since we got married but our photographer wasn’t very good and I never really wanted to pay for one through him.  A lot of the pictures were out of focus or just poorly shot.  So, I took the proof book and scanned all of the photos to the computer.

After choosing a theme for the book on Mixbook, I was able to upload all of the photos I wanted to use very easily.  Once uploaded, it just a matter of putting them into the book.  You can tweak and modify nearly every aspect of the book including backgrounds; picture layouts; colors; accessories like flowers, ribbons, and line-art, and text layouts for each page.  Overall the process is fairly painless, though a little frustrating in the beginning.  But once the quick learning curve was overcome, it was a breeze to finish the project.

I’ll make sure to give a review of the book once it does arrive.
