Who has used Lulu.com?

Who has used Lulu.com for printing photo books and wedding albums? Have you been pleased with their work?
We've had a couple of photo books printed with Blurb.com and haven't been super impressed. If anyone has tried both and has a comparison to offer, that would be Very Helpful!

i have never used them for a wedding album. i use them for proof books of engagement shoots i do. the quality of the book is great... the printing is so so. but the clients love them. and i use it as a PROOF book, so it is not upheld to the same standard as a wedding album.

some of the images were dark and some of the images were cut off a bit in binding/cutting. overall, for what i use them for, i am very happy with their books and i continue to use them.

I have used both companies and the both have their good & bad points.

In my opinion the book quality (binding and printing) is about the same between the two. Lulu is more expensive and Blurb offers more options. I tend to use Blurb for books and Lulu for calendars.

I've even created the same book using both companies and the Blurb versions usually sell better. The lower price I would suspect.

Here is one.
