These solutions can be broken down into a couple of categories:<br \/>\n&#8211; Consumer &#8220;digital offset&#8221; printing (ala SharedInk.com, Blurb.com and Apple&#8217;s Albums) &#8211; Quite poor resolution, affordable, easy to order<br \/>\n&#8211; Professional printing (Asuka, CornerstoneAlbums, etc) &#8211; Generally awesome quality, terrible enrollment\/qualification process (I&#8217;m not enough of a &#8220;pro&#8221; for these sites) and very&#8230; very&#8230; expensive<br \/>\n&#8211; DIY &#8211; Lots of options here, but I&#8217;m looking at putting together my own albums from scratch (as compared to print &#038; assemble options like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hahnemuehle.com\/index.php?mid=400&#038;lng=en&#038;pkat=1236\">this<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>In pursuit of a truly viable DIY option (and in what may end up being a stupid move), I signed up for a weekend long bookbinding class at the San Francisco <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfcb.org\/\">Center for the Book<\/a>.
