Default Coffee Table Printing

Looking for advice on the best printing company that will print my coffee table style albums?

Any suggestions?

I would have recommended ImageStation.com, but I have only used them twice and am not have very good luck. They sent me 4 8x10's out of about $120.00's worth of orders. I found out that you need to click on every link on the page to see if there might be some details. This link will not say "read this first" or "details." I tried to look for some contact information which I normally do before I even place an order online (my mistake) and didn't find anything but a live chat. The idiot I was unfortunate enough to get to chat with was not too intelligent. I was about to write this off as a learning experience, but decided to look one more time for a contact phone number. I did find an email address and tried that. support@imagestation.com. Still no reply from the email. :-\

You can look into it. They do have books, but you will want to use caution.

I have used (although on a limited basis):

http://www.lulu.com

But they're set up to so that you have to do your own layout of the entire book (including front and back cover) in Pagemaker, MS Word, or some type of publishing program.

It looks like they now have the capability to do slick paper with color in hardback form. The book I did was about 25 pages in stapled-spine format, and the paper and print quality were excellent.

I'm working on another one which will be closer to 120 pages (photography from the community theatre company I'm involved with.

I still haven't heard from Sony ImageStation.com. I would be very cautious utilizing their service.
