The new Flickr Photo Books service helps users turn their digital photos into stunning hardcover photo books.
Using Flickr photos, users can choose a specific photoset and with a click, Flickr Photo Book automatically arranges the pictures. For more customization, users can edit, resize, adjust the color of the cover and resize the margins all within the Photo Book service. One extremely handy feature is being able to look at all of the book’s pages at once, including how spreads will look side-by-side.
Considering that Flickr Photo Books was launched just in time for the holidays, these unique photo books will definitely be popping up under some Christmas trees this year. Currently, the service is only available in the US and shipping takes about five to seven business days.
