Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video Choosing a size for your book, part of Creating Photo Books with iPhoto.
Once you've decided on a binding style the size option is pretty easy.…Remember, different binding styles offer different sizes.…For example, in the Wire-bound book here I could choose between large and medium.…You'll notice that the page size is quite different.…We go from an 11 x 8.5 inch book on the large size versus a smaller 8 x 6.…The difference in price is pretty astonishing.…The book actually ends up being about half the cost.…
Adding additional pages is also less, because what happens here is the pages are…smaller so they don't need to charge as much for additional pages.…If you're looking to save the most money and you just want to do a small book,…these books are quite affordable.…However, they're only sold in three packs.…What I like about these small picture books is they've become an excellent way…to put a bunch of pictures together to share with others.…Now this small book only offers a single theme.…It's really basic, but think of this as a great alternative to buying…postcards on vacation.…
