Do alot of yo u also take pictures on your climbs? Im thinking about creating a professional photo book with my photos of some of my climbs, Smilebooks allows you to save 25% with a Voucher PV25 and I want to take advantage of this. Has anyone else done this yet? How do the photo books come out?

S**t - I thought this was going to be "climbing pictures". Like actual pics.

ps, Picasa and ...hmmm, forget the name, but others do this as well.

If you do a nice job, keep the resolution high, and have good photos to begin with, the book should come out looking good.

Other options if you want to shop around for good price:

I think sourcream is guerilla marketing for a photo site.

sourcream, indicate how you are a climber by providing the secret code word.

Munge... looks like you may be right and I might have been had.
I forgot to take my cynical pill this morning.

In any case, the two sites I posted up would be direct competitors to the site the spambot posted up, so I got that going for me. :-)
I've used the blurb site to produce a photo book and the result was very nice in both hardback and paperback.

There's yet another site that is linked with Amazon (can't recall what it was at the moment) so if you produce a book of some kind, you can distribute it through Amazon.com.

Probably just as well this thread dies as it appears that I'm not tied in anywhere....since I am @300' off the deck there, I find it simultaneously interesting and surprising.
