  Anna K. asked:

  I'm looking for an online company where we can turn our digital photos into a printed photo album that is both modern-looking and good-quality. Any suggestions of a website we could try? Thanks very much.

  Shatgun asked:

  Custom book printing in Ottawa I'm hoping to get a single book printed and bound as a present for someone. Can anyone recommend a printing service in the area that would do this? I've searched, but I can't find anywhere that would do this for a single copy.

  Not local, but I've used [Blurb](http://www.blurb.ca/) before with great results.

  Lots of website (like Blurb, as mentioned) and Shutterfly will do this kind of thing for you. Don't limit your search to Ottawa based companies unless you really want to go pay whoever you pick a visit to see the options in person.

  Vincent F. asked:

  Any recommendations to have photobooks created? Apparently, Costo's online 3rd Party provider has been currently suspended, do to online security issues, I believe, that is currently under investigation ??

  

  Richard D. replied:

  I use Blurb (http://www.blurb.ca/) for photo books. They have Canadian prices and a fair number of choices of size, paper quality and covers. Most people are happy with the auto-layout tools that all these sites offer, but I use Adobe InDesign to have precise control over the layout, and Blurb has an InDesign plug-in to help you get started.

  I've been extremely happy with Shutterfly. If you want a more text-heavy book, Blurb is a good source.

  Ki L. asked:

  Jim Green, a self described "humble electrician" (and oh, how we needed such on the Old Profanity), has made an interesting suggestion. When The Illustrated Vivian Stanshall is published, it ought to be launched along with art work, albums, letters, doodles (I've saved every one I saw lying about), whatever, in a suitably strange venue. I'm winging it here... but a truly eccentric bookstore in London (then moving on to Bristol or vice versa), along with perhaps a taste of Sir Henry with Michael Livesley (if he so wished), and as many celebs who also so wished. Or perhaps a surreal art gallery? Or some equally unusual venue (s). But it will need a bit of financial support. Jim mentioned kickstarter. Kickstart? Does anyone know how to start a kickstart? And do y'all think this is a good idea?
