Some of you may know about Blurb, but if you don't, which I didn't, here is the scoop! Blurb is an online source with free software you download to make your own professionally bound book at an extremely reasonable price! You can order one book or many books starting at the low price of $12.95! You can make your book available for sale on a private site or in Blurb's book store. The step by step tutorial is outstanding. You have a choice of book sizes and types, soft or hard cover, layouts, fonts, borders, colors, backgrounds, etc. You can add photos, art work, text, documents, etc. The possibilities are endless and I am really excited about this so I thought it worth sharing.
