This article looks at the growing popularity of photo books as a way of presenting your photographs. In the modern world of digital photography, people often don't print photos any more and photo books are a novel way of showing off your work and they make an excellent gift too.

In this age of digital photography, people often leave their pictures simply sitting in their hard drive, and printing photographs is often forgotten about. Photographs should be seen and a great way to present your work is by creating a photo book, whether they be wedding photo books or baby photo books. They represent an increasingly popular way of presenting photographs and they make an excellent gift too.

All you have to do is upload your chosen photographs into your chosen design and Blurb will do all the hard work for you. Another popular site offering personalised photo books is PhotoBox.com.
