Thanks for that, I'll contact them right away. I need to change some advise I gave about the high resolution and dpi quality we would need for the pictures we might use. Apparently we do not need to enhance them passed say 300 dpi and not the higher figures I have been quoting. And 300 dpi is nothing, you could probably enhance most web graphics to that and they would be okay. 300 dpi may well be obtainable with the typical digital camera. So that means most of the photos we get will be usable. Of course, in a way, that may present additional problems: we may get swamped. I am asking pubs and printers for estimates on a 130 page 4-color 8.5 by 11.0 Perfect Bound plain paper book. We can change any of that, but 8.5 by 11 is a very good size because it is one of the standards. They usually print everything that size or smaller on US Letter or A4, and then cut it to size. 8.5 by 11 would only require edge trimming which may get us a better price. So, tell you what. It Xmas week next week. everyone will be out this weekend, in the malls. Wander into Borders or Barnes and look at some of the photo and coffee table books they have. Maybe we would want to go bigger, or square?
