Vistaprint Photo Book Review

The Vistaprint photo books are low-priced and offer a lot of variety. The books are 26 pages long, which is 6 pages more than most other photo book printers. The photo upload process was a standard interface that was easy to follow. Once the book was "built" you could find the uploaded pictures in the picture tray that was found when you choose the "My Photos" tab. There are also tabs for "Backgrounds", "Layouts", "Clipart", and "Text".

The Clipart tab was a lot of fun. The clipart is divided into 17 different categories and each category has from 5 to 27 images in each. Be sure to click on the "All Clipart" link to see the clipart this way. Otherwise you need to scroll through 500 different pieces of clipart.

Vistaprint has very few layouts that include text. However, you can add text to any page by clicking on the "Text" tab and using the tool that is located there.

There is a section on "Photo Book Tips" that answers many of your questions. If you need any other help, you will need to exit your book and go to Vistaprint's main help page and you can then have a Live Chat with a representative or even make a phone call to have question answered.
