I just expected heavy, glossy paper, not stuff that looked and felt like it was printed on a low-end inkjet. I checked their site and they claim they have 80# paper now, so maybe it's better.

I used Blurb for a 7" x 7" book, and I was fairly happy with how it turned out. I just took a look at it again and I didn't see any bleed through on the pages unless I held it up to the sunlight. I agree that the paper isn't as heavyweight as it could/should be, but it seems to be pretty much the standard across most of the books I've seen. Is there someone else I should be using? Hmm.

I'll be interested to hear what you think about the Blurb book quality. We did one of our New Mexico trip last year, and chose them because of the software's flexibility (it also appears that they have a new version out too). We weren't super happy with the paper they used to print the books though. It's not very heavy weight and you can see pictures bleed through the back :( Hey now, that’s a nifty trick!
