Bay Photo hard back press printed books?

[Elaine]

Can anyone speak to the quality of this product, especially with the hinged paper? Is it comparable to WHCC? I need to order one next week and I've never ordered one from anyone before, so I'm curious if anyone has any opinions/feedback on these. Thanks!

[Andy]

Of course I'm biased - but I've seen these books be made, and seen them on coffee tables.

The quality is _unbelieveable_ so so good.

Or now and don't be worried.

Thanks, Andy!

Next questions:

6 color or 4 color printing? (I'm guessing 6 color.)

Will a 5x7, hardback book look odd with only 10 pages (20 images) in it? With hinged paper, will it still lay flat open?

Even if I edit my images, is it still a good idea to use Bay's color correction?

I'm trying to work out just how to order these books. I don't see them available in the Owner Buy section. Am I doing something wrong?

I don't believe they are available through Smug at this time. I recently set up an account with Bay so I could use their ROES. As I'm making some print orders from Bay via Smug, I thought I might as well make use of their other products as well, even though it requires a separate order done directly with Bay.
