export photobook project from iPhoto

I have created a phonebook in iPhoto, but I can't order it since my iPhoto-version is no longer up to date. Is there an easy way to export this book to another Mac and order it from there? When searching this forum a bit I also saw someone mentioning it is no longer possible to order any printed copies from iPhoto. Is that so? In that case I guess there is no need trying to export it, or finding another solution

Apple stopped the print services completely after September 30 last year. Even if you convert the iPhoto Library to a Photos Library you can no longer order books, calendars, cards, prints from Apple, see: Post 9/30/2018 Printing Options for Photos


It would be better to finish the book in iPhoto, save it as a PDF file, and then upload it to a service, that can print iPhoto books from a PDF file.

Presto Photo can print iPhoto books and Aperture books, for example.

To save the book as aPDF file, ctrl-click the background between the book pages, than select 2save as PDF"

Are you able to create a PDF file for that book?  If so there's a 3rd party book provider which used to do the printing for Apple, Mimeo, that will take PDF files created by iPhoto and Photos and print and bind books and calendars. 


Also you can upload the PDF file to PrestoPhotos which can print and bind books and calendars from iPhoto or Photos pdf files.  They've been doing it for some time now.


Use the PrestoPhotos or Mimeo links above for direct access to the PDF file uploading and book/calendar ordering page for each site.
