One word: AWESOME!
I have to admit that I was a bit scared because 1) what kind of quality should I expect for only $29.99 and 2) it seems to be a frequent problem on the Blurb forums where people receive an album with their cover but someone else’s book inside (and then a couple days ago, this happened to a fellow Weddingbee-er), but my fears were alleviated when I opened up the cardboard box today! Yay!
The quality is great for the price - you really can’t beat $29.99 for a 40 page hardcover book. The pictures are so clear and the book is really sturdy! (but of course, you need to use high-res pictures for it to come out this clear)
Here are some snapshots of our book:

Very stylish! What a great coffee table book! Did you order it through your photographer?
Beautiful Mrs. Plum! I’m glad to hear it worked for you. It looks great.
That’s beautiful! Yes- do tell where you ordered it, I’d love to do one too!!!
Hurray…. it is so nice. You did a great job. Can’t wait to start on mine 
but for that i need to get married first.
yes - what Mrs. Snow Pea said! I ordered it through Blurb.com.
I have to admit it took a while to decide which pictures to use, the layout, the order, etc., but it turned out great - totally worth it if you have the patience and time to put one together (this is the most frustrating part of the entire process)
Mrs. Plum absolutely gorgeous! I just placed an order for one earlier this week and I can’t wait for it to come!
How long did it take for you to get your book once you placed your order?
Abbey - it took about a week! The turnaround time was really quick - I placed the order on a Wednesday night and about a week later, the book was on my doorstep! I used the cheapest shipping option as well.
Looks great Mrs. Plum! I just received our honeymoon book through Blurb and it turned out great too! I was worried reading all of the comments on the forums too but I think that they are the minority. They are the people that post the most though.
Thanks for sharing!
Dude! $30?? That’s awesome! I love the page with the kids faces’, off center.
gorgeous!! I love full page pictures in albums - so impressive.
thats so cute!!
i love the last picture!! its adorable!!!
I am so glad we didn’t opt for the more expensive package from our photographer to get two more parent albums and more unnecessary coverage!
$30 is a steal and yours came out AMAZING! I keep on reading great things about them. Can’t wait to check them out more
It is so perfect! I love it!!! I’m so glad that you didn’t end up having an issue with them!
Glad you love it! Another option with similar pricing and quality is Lulu.com. I’ve used both for proof books and they do a good job for a reasonable price. But just to be clear, the album companies I use, Asuka, VisionArt, ZookBinders, ACI all make substantially higher quality products, but cost a lot more too. It’s good to have options

awesome! this helps so much when you realize you don’t have to pay the photographer over $100 for a photo album. YAY!!!

About Me: I have been engaged for about two years now - yes, a long engagement, because my fiance and I wanted to wait until I graduated college, which I did this past summer! He proposed after dating just two months - crazy, I know, but 2 years later, here we are, still crazy in love :-). We are having not one, but TWO weddings and TWO receptions in one weekend - American-style and Vietnamese-style - in Dallas, Texas, where I was born and raised!
