Apr 26, 2016 8:19 AM in response to lisap2811by léonie,Apple stopped the development of Aperture more than a year ago, and now it dropped the support for print products as well at the end of March. You can only order books from Photos for Mac, or save the PDF file of your book to your disk and upload it to a different print service like Presto Photos.

Apr 26, 2016 12:20 PM in response to lisap2811by LarryHN,You can migrate to Photos and when you migrate to PHotos your Photo Books will migrate -- How Photos handles content and metadata from iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support -- but probably will not be the same as Photos books are very different - preview it in Photos and see - Preview a print project in Photos or iPhoto to avoid issues - Apple Support
Another option is to use a third party like PrestoPhoto to print the book - some people in this forum have reported good results (I have not personally used them)

Re: Re: how to export a book made in Aperture to make a similar book in Photos?
Hi Kgem!
Meghan with PrestoPhoto here. Good news! There is a way to save your file so that includes the dust jacket, no special formatting or PDF hacking required. In the past few weeks since April 1, we've overhauled our Apple Project software so now it all works like a dream again!
Here is a screenshot that shows how to save properly save the PDF in Aperture: https://www.prestophoto.com/storage/static/iphotopage/aperture-save-as-pdf.jpg
It might look weird when you open it on your desktop (i.e. blank pages and odd-looking flaps, galore), but not to worry. Our software knows what to do, promise!
Oh, also, ometimes Apeture PDFs have borders on them depending on the default printer settings, but that's the only would-be issue that we have been seeing lately. To address this, make sure "borderless printing" is slected OR create a custom size with 0 in margins on all sides. Here is a screenshot showing what to do (but only if you DO see borders): https://www.prestophoto.com/storage/static/iphotopage/aperture-save-large-size-w ithout-borders-two.jpg
I hope this helps!! Let me know if you have any questions - either here or over on Presto Photo Live Chat!!

Apr 29, 2016 9:39 AM in response to léonieby CheekyMonkeyheehee,Hi there. Yikes! I have just stumbled onto this thread as I have a 50 page large phonebook saved in Aperture which I just hadn't got around to printing off. I have received absolutely nothing from Apple saying that they were stooping printing these books as otherwise I would have just sent it off to print. The last book that I had done was about 3 years ago. I will have a look at the printing company that you suggest thanks, but do you know of any UK printers who could manage the Apple Aperture book please?? Many thanks!

I'm with PrestoPhoto - we're US-based but we do offer $14.99 international flat rate shipping for orders between $30.00 USD and $150.00 USD. We sometimes make adjustments as shipping costs fluctuate over time but for now, it's seriously a deal.
I hope this helps!
