“Exceeded Expextations!”

C G.
1/18/20

I was also hesitant to upload my blog and order a book based on some of the reviews I read. And, I will admit I had a bit of trouble with the website (but I'm not so sure it wasn't my home internet connection). In any event, I did send a comment to customer support for assistance and received a prompt (within24 hrs) reply. I then ordered my book. Yes, it's a bit pricey and I kept my expectations low. The book arrived on time and the quality was exception in ever way! It's 281 pages so I'm slowly reading through each page but half way through it I can already say there are no errors, the binding is tight with clean, crisp, high quality pages and cover. The photos are wonderful. The Table of Contents is very useful. I splurged on the book jacket and it's great. I do wish it wasn't so expensive or there was a price break for multiple orders... but in my case, "you get what you pay for" and I'm very please with what I received. Thank you to customer service for your assistance and to the whole team that created my book. I will order again!

“WordPress changes not supported by Blog2Print”

Ed E.

I was a customer of Blog2Print for 10 years and was generally satisfied with the result of turning my WordPress blog into an annual book. Until this year, that is. WordPress changed a few things including how pictures are inserted and Blog2Print won't support the new format. Wow! I guess they've decided that adjusting to blog site changes is not necessary to their future. I was told to reinsert all of the photos as they are considered "figures" now and not images. I tried to change the HTML code (what they actually told me was my only alternative!) but it is not a simple thing to do - trust me (and I have some data processing background). If you can't make this process simple, you likely won't remain in business. I was finally informed that I should look for an alternative by their customer service manager for XanEdu(the company operates under this name) - good advice for me, but not for them as I found one with 20 minutes of being told that. My book was produced (with all "figures" or "images" or whatever they're referred to now) within about 20 minutes after that. I highly recommend PixxiBook.com now!

Blog2Print converts your digital creations into old-fashioned print on paper. Put like that, somehow it seems a step backward, but there's something about a real hard-copy book that has a physical presence, which can't be simulated by an image on a screen. At least, not yet; people once said similar things about digital photography, and that seems to have done reasonably well compared to film (remember film?). I think it may be a while longer, though, before people have the same feelings about screen reading as they do book reading, even given the increasing popularity of e-book readers, which themselves still have a long way to go.

The advantage of this service over others is that it handles both text and photographs, and it has options for Twitter and Facebook and other types of digital creations as well as the three major types of blog: Blogger, Wordpress and TypePad. Costs are not cheap, but reasonable when you consider that you are probably only buying one copy and it will be unique. A hardcover, 20-page book of your blog will set you back $25.95 at the time of writing, plus 35 cents for each extra page. A soft cover version is $15.95 and you can have a simpler PDF version for $7.95. Additionally you can subscribe to a service which automatically creates a PDF of your blog and sends you a copy every month or every quarter, and of course you can print as many copies of that at home, as you like.

A very neat feature of the site is that you can create a digital image of what your book will look like, page by page, presented onscreen. So you can mess around somewhat with the format, choose covers, choose fonts and a dedication. They even have common dedication texts to choose from if your originality ends where your blog does. You'll be able to see what you're buying before you buy, by paging through this digital version, and if you change your mind you're making no committment - just close your browser window or surf off somewhere else. On the other hand, if you're into the idea but don't have the time to complete it right now, you can save your work and come back later. Pretty useful.

It definitely falls into the "This'll make a great gift for Grandma" category, which makes a plausible excuse for buying a copy to leave on the coffee table to impress your friends. I have mixed feelings, though; one of the main defining characteristics of digital media is that it's changeable, it can be revisited, modified and improved. A book represents a fixed moment in time, offering none of the freedom of a digital creation.

Somehow the prospect of my writing becoming part of a permanent record is a little scary, so for now, I'll stick with a medium that allows me to go back and rewrite to prove that I'd really had better ideas than people remember. I'd hate to think I'd irrevocably committed myself to some embarrassingly stupid observation that someone could quote me on in years to come.

On the other hand, your book can't be spammed by Chinese wholesalers and you won't have to deal with visitors leaving awkward comments... hmmm, this might not be such a bad idea after all.
