Anybody make a book out of your photos ? Who'd you use? How much $ was it?
Try www.mixbook.com
The site is easy to use and the result are great. Used them recently and was very happy.

do you guys remember what you paid for your books? And what you got?
It may be they're all around the same price?
I doubt however that Apple's price is comparable. They have a built in book maker with iPhoto but you have to basically make your book , sign up and then get the surprise price!! (hey, it's Apple--if you have to ask.....)

Against the negatives of the Apple approach, you have to balance the great positive that is the final result. Their books are perfectly laid out and bound, truly professional pieces of work. Indeed, there are so good that the content (your photos) are likely to be the weakest element of the whole package.
Having said that, I've never bought one, only having those purchased by other family members for their photographic work.

I went to the Costco site. They use MyPublisher .
A MyPublisher and Apple comparison for a softcover 20 page 8x6 book is as follows.
Apple 9.99 + 5.00 and .50 each additional book.
MyPub 12.95 + 5.99 and 1.49 each additional book.
10 books from Apple.. $109.99
10 books from MyPub. $150.39
Okay---I'm in shock!! I figured Apple would be the most expensive.
I'm still not sure I believe it.

As you know, I have a couple calendars that I sell. I use Lulu.com -- they're an on-demand publisher. In other words, they don't make it until you order it. No stock needed. No minimum order.
They have a Photobook option (http://www.lulu.com/publish/photo_books/?cid=us_home_nav_pbk) and it starts at $9.99 per book, for 20 pages.
