So I thought it would be a neat idea to compile some of my favorite images from my shop into a book. I printed the book through Blurb, and got my first copy. I like it, but am not sure if it can sell for enough for me to make a profit? Just wondering if you guys think this is a smart investment or not? I can by more and sell them through Etsy for less than my retail cost on Blurb. Any opinions? You can preview the first several pages on Blurb here.

I think it's a brilliant idea. It would make the perfect coffee table book and especially for the holidays coming up, a great gift. I say go for it!
I personally love art books and think you should go for it...the preview is beautiful...
Hi Emiko, i think your book looks gorgeous! I've been thinking about doing this too, and Blurb certainly makes it easy - are you happy with the quality of the printed page?
thanks for your kind comment on our Favorite Things blog :-)
I think they're great gifts as well. and your chosen images are lovely! It also serves as a wonderful keepsake for you and your loved ones!
oh superb idea! and the layout is dynomite and clean but so intriguing. i LOVE it!
The images sell themselves. Go for it. :) Let me know what you think of the quality of the printed book. I printed a similar kind of book through Shutterfly and the quality was pretty good (although I am super picky), but I really didn't care for the high-gloss cover. I was hoping to find something with a matte finish.
I agree - love it! People really enjoy coffee table books and its perfect for those who love all your prints - like me!
