CVS Photo Center Photo Book Review

CVS Photo Center is a good and basic site for building a simple photo book.

If you are already using CVS Photo Center for your photo prints, then CVS's photo book service might be a good fit for you. The site is user friendly for creating a photo book for the first time - not a lot of bells and whistles, but enough variety in themes and backgrounds and in-book editing to let you get the feel of creating a custom photo book. They now allow you to have captions on many of the layout pages and even full pages of text.

CVS Photo Book Options

There are only two different hardcover photo book sizes at CVS Photo Center -- 8.5x11 and 8x8 -- and one softcover size at 5x7. This limited variety of sizes might not affect the average user, but make sure you do not want a larger size before you begin your project. Cover Options: Added to their linen and faux-leather die-cut window covers is a new custom photo cover. The custom photo cover is one of the most popular covers available, so it is good that they have added this to their line-up.

CVS Photo Center is partnered with Kodak and it's actually the latter who prints the book. The bindings on the books are stapled and glued.
