For starters, the results are really great - a quality product, glossy and professional looking. A really great looking book, with your own photos which could easily sit in a shop as a quality publication. The software? Well, truth be told, I found it tricky - mainly because there is so much choice. Appreciate this could just be me, my choices, my skills. And that there are simpler options for simpler layouts, which is all good. But I felt I wanted to go with more complex layouts and design which meant that it did take time, concentration and effort. Was it worth it? Definitely. We do one of our holidays every year, and also as a family gifts for birthdays etc. Overall, great product, highly recommend. But it takes time!
