because they look like commercially-produced photography books -- the kind you would purchase at a major bookseller.
This online photo processor's powerful, easy-to-use software lets anyone turn home-grown digital images into coffee-table-quality photo books -- personalized for each recipient.
    
"People are surprised when they see our products," says Werner Muff, the company's president, "because they look like commercially-produced photography books -- the kind you would purchase at a major bookseller."

Visit printmyphotobook.com and download a free Mac or PC compatible version of the software. Then, import favorite digital images from a cell phone, digital memory cards or computer hard drive and create photo books that friends and family will connect with. Baby books, pictorial years-in-review, vacation memory books, recipe books -- even illustrated volumes of poetry -- are all possibilities.

Printmyphotobook.com offers a wide variety of sizes, formats, colors, bindings and covers -- and the books can cost as little as a comparable set of 4X6 color prints. Once you're satisfied with your creation, simply upload the file for online printing and shipping.

In "advanced" mode, printmyphotobook.com's software allows users to resize photos on the fly, place up to nine images of varying sizes on a single page or feature one image in a large, two-page panoramic spread. Layouts accept images and text on the books' front and back covers and volume titles on the spines. A generous selection of typefaces, background colors and special effects add further design flexibility. And because the books are designed off-line, users can complete them at their convenience.

Accurate on-screen presentations and simple point-and-click functions make previewing and revising books quick and painless. "Before you place an order, you can preview your book, see exactly how it will appear in print and make any desired changes," Muff says.

Printmyphotobook.com prints its books using only acid-free, archival-quality photographic paper to ensure long lasting, vivid pictures. The books sell for as little as $9.99 for small, 12-36 page pocket-sized editions (4 1/8 X 5 ¾ inches) and for $ 34.99 and up for the largest (10 ¾ X 8 inch) formats, of 36 to 144 pages. (Shipping and handling is additional.)

"Where else can you create such individually personalized holiday gifts. and send them to multiple recipients without ever leaving your home?" asks Petra Kaiser, Muff's business partner and head of Printmyphotobook.com USA. "Even Santa's elves would be hard-pressed to make the process easier."

Orders must be completed no later than midnight December 10, 2006 to ensure timely delivery by Christmas. To download the free software or to learn about special holiday discounts, visit: www.printmyphotobook.com.
