They are 20 pages so you would want at least one a page, so 20 minimum. More if you want to make a collage type effect.

If you are only going to do one a page, I reccomend super high resolution photos. If some of your photos are smaller, it may pay to use a few more.....meh scrap all that. The programme tells you if the resolution is out anyway. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> |

I did six photobooks with Snapfish when they had a special deal on, I think it was 40% off, so only paid $86 including shipping. These look lovely too though and if I end up needing more I'll try them out. ------------- Mama to two earth walkers & two angels.

I've ordered two and they came out great, really happy with them. I did use prof pics tho, so that may have helped. I used about 30-40 pics if you include the cover one and a few on the back, plus some pages had 2 or 3 pics. ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

That book looks great Flake.
I ordered one from Snapfish because I am having a heap of trouble doing one through Harvey Norman. Though I think I may try again as their ones look so much better. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Your book looks great Donna! I can't wait till we get ours. I only did the one book but got three copies (for pressies) I plan on making at least one at the end of each year of the family. I might get some prints on canvas too. ------------- Captain Chaos (5) & the Trouble Monsters (2!)
