MyPublisher is the first photo book company I tried back in 2005. Since then I’ve made countless books with them. I’ve almost always maxed out my photo books at 100 pages since I love to take lots of photos and have a hard time leaving so many out. Normally I would wait for a free extra pages deal or 60% off discount before ordering. Later when new options became available, I would always choose the lay flat upgrade as well as the thicker premium satin pages. The latter was only a few dollar upcharge so that was a no brainer for me. I would also choose the matte cover and standard end sheets which were included in the price. So, each 100 page book cost about $52.00 after discounts, inclusive of shipping and taxes. That’s a great price for a large lay flat photo book.Ī number of commenters mourned the loss of the beloved free extra pages deal. I had never seen Shutterfly offer the same deal, and I even wrote about that in my February FAQ post, but lo and behold this past July, Shutterfly offered the free extra pages on their site and of course I had to jump on it! Yes, that deal was probably the best deal MyPublisher would offer to readers and one that I often requested from my contacts at MyPublisher for our fans. PHOTO BOOK GIRL TIP: Shutterfly has its own unique pricing structure and it’s one of the few companies that allows you to STACK coupon codes. That means whatever codes you can get your hands on, you should try them all and see what happens. Keep trying different combinations until you get the lowest price. In your shopping cart, even if a code is initially kicked out, be sure to click on the ‘Details’ heading as well as the “See Saved Offers” – sometimes codes that are initially rejected are accepted after I go to take a look at the details. Don’t ask me how – it just happens sometimes. You can have a total of 110 pages in a Shutterfly photo book, that’s 10 pages more than with MyPublisher.īelow is a screenshot from the order for this book: I usually get at least two codes to work on every order and lots of folks have said the same. So if you’re getting free extra pages, you should definitely go for the max! Shutterfly breaks down its options differently so some things which were included with MyPublisher are add-ons in Shutterfly. Also note that I added a dust jacket for this order, which I don’t normally do for MyPublisher, but I thought for those of you that like dust jackets, I’ll order one so I can review it here. The base price for the MyPublisher book for one 100 page book with the specs I detailed was $146.20 before discounts. A similar book at 110 pages with Shutterfly is $219.67. All in, after discounts and adding shipping and tax, the MyPublisher book ended up being $52.66. The Shutterfly book in this case was $49.38.
