Greetings,



I received my copy of the ARS VI book last week and finally had a chance 

to look it over.  I'm hoping you'll take this as an unbiased review...



Those who know me know I can be quite critical when it comes to the 

reproduction of my images.  The color balance and sharpness of the 

photographs in the book have been reproduced wonderfully.  I was quite 

impressed, as my photographer peers promised I would be.  From the deep 

colors of the twilight taxiway lights at KPTV to the vibrant contrast of 

the night shots, they all printed brilliantly. 



My only gripe regarding quality was the slightly oversaturated dust 

cover which caused me to initially fear the worst.  Fortunately the dust 

covers are printed on a different press with a slightly varied color 

curve than the rest of the book.  The other issue was of course the 

price.  If this becomes a viable project next year, the book will be 

printed in the smaller 8x10 format instead of the oversized 11x13.  This 

should cut the price by 1/3, though the number of pages and images may 

remain the same.  This book maxed out at 80 pages with 120 images.  

Anything higher than 80 pages would have bumped the price up to the next 

level.



On that note, I know a few of you have already ordered and hopefully 

received your book.  I look forward to hearing your opinions, good or 

bad.  This will denote my further working with this company along with 

deciding if all the work of putting together a book is worth the 

effort.  If anyone has any questions or ideas, please let me know.



If you haven't seen the book, it can be found and purchased here:

And a preview of all the images found in the book can be seen here:

Again, many thanks for allowing me to work with you guys.

I like the book.  I like Blurb.com.  I have done books with the  

native Mac software in iPhoto - Blurb has more templates and variety  

to be creative with the book.  Keep up the good work and com to OSH !!
