Photo Book

I want to put together a professionally printed 8.5 by 11 photo book. I checked out shutterfly.com but they only print this size book in landscape. Anybody have experience with this and know where I can print an 8.5x11 portrait photo book?

I did a gorgeous photobook from www.mypublisher.com. Their program is very easy to use and there are a lot of page options to choose from - multiple photos, photos w/ or w/o captions, etc. You download their software and use it on your computer. When you're done, you upload the whole thing to their server and voila! You have a beautiful book in about a week.
They also have some kind of 2 for 1 promo when you sign up.

Thanks all for your responses. All that was mentioned so far print only in the landscape format. Anybody knows a site that prints portrait?

Winkflash has 8 x 11 portrait photo books, and now is their flat price book sale (any amount of pages, up to 100, same price). Specs are slightly different though if that's an issue - an image to go full bleed should be 8.575 x 10.7, and cut page size = 8.075 x 10.45.

Did you try Snapfish. I never did that size but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it as an option. There are usually coupons available.

mixbook.com also does 8.5x 11 portrait. You do have to have a very high quality photo to put a full page picture.

Thanks for your replies. Snapfish does not have portrait. MPIX looks great but they're quite expensive. Anybody know how the quality and service is at winkflash?

I'm pretty happy with the Winkflash quality.
