The second photo book I made using iPhoto. Most of the images I saved from Yahoo Japan Auctions and other websites. [I made the book for myself, not for commercial purposes.] Printed by Apple in Japan - it's top quality!

Nice! I wouldn't mind a copy of that book.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

How much do Apple in Japan charge for a book like that? I have 1000s of saved photos and would love something like that.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Great looking little book
I heard about this a while ago but have no idea how much it would cost.

What was the minimum number of books they can print-up?

Do they care about the images being royalty-free or is that not an issue?

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

^^ indeed.

I suppose the dimensions of the book would have to be kept fairly small though . . . because most images taken from the web are a bit low-res for printing.

Keeping the size small would help hide the fact the images are a lower resolution than normally needed.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Thanks for all the feedback!

Cost is just over US$65 for this type of book (maybe prices vary from other countries, I'm located in Australia) The format is 6 x 8 inches and contains 100 pages (the number of pages you can have is between 20 to 100). Apple Printing is very quick! It arrived on my doorstep a few days after I sent the files via iPhoto.

You can order as few or as many as you like and copyright does not appear to be a problem!

Yes, that's why I opted for the small size book (large format books are available also). Even though over 50% of the images attracted a low-res warning code they printed out just fine. Even if a few of the images are not perfect it was no issue for me, I made the book to entertain myself and it was a lot of fun compiling and categorising the images. Also, it's true that having all these jpegs sitting on your hard drive can be easily overlooked. Having my favorite pics in a custom made book format is so much nicer !

such a great idea.. i just might have to do that one day.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Wow that book is awesome. And makes me think it might be easier to do some full color publishing than I thought.

i got this in the mail recently- i gigantic blow molded zombie head from a shopping network in the early 90s. it would go in your yard with a light underneath to give it a fleshy glow- my new project is to resurrect the light source and have a cool lamp for my studio space.



i love how its a kind of a crypt keeper rip off/ early evil dead 90s monster makeup style.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

^^ that is so cool . . . post a photo when you get it lit-up

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th
