I'm thinking about producing a book of images for the family probably only four or five copies.
I looked at the 50th Anniversary club book but couldn't establish who printed it.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Bill Fleming

Hi Bill, It was printed by an outfit called www.mixam.co.uk. Very easy to deal with and much better prices than Blurb, Bob, etc.. All managed on-line, you simply define the style, size and number of pages and quantity to be printed and this gives you an immediate, refreshed price. Upload a high-res PDF of your pages, pay and bingo - your order drops onto the doormat a week later! If you want some help on getting the data into a suitable format and layout, give me a buzz.

I concur with Ian's advice. I haved Mixam a couple of times and have been very pleased with the process and the results [and the price!].

Hi Ian, also interested in this - can you recall what gsm the anniversary book was printed on?
Thanks,
