…..I was surprised how much, in person, it looks like a calendar. I thought the sprial binding would be cool, especially because the photo book would sit nice and flat, but I have to tell you, most everyone that saw it made the mention that it kind of looks like a calendar.
On screen it really didn’t have that feel, but it really did in person. That being said; the print job was just great, and the paper was very nice and thick and really reproduced the photos well, but at the end of the day, I think I’ll reorder it as a standard softcover book (by the way; I much prefer the soft-cover books to the hard cover ones. They have a much less “consumery feel” to them).
So, that’s my first take on the spiral bound Apple iPhoto books. They have their advantages, but I just can’t get past that “it looks like a calendar rather than a photo book” thing.
