Use Pages for template to commercial printer
I created a 20 page, 7x7", perfect bound book in Blurb.com which is primarily pictures with a small amount of text. It has generated a lot of interest since it is very specific to the area in which I live. A local business wants to stock it and claims it can sell "tons" which is appealing. 🙂 The problem I have is getting the unit price down to a reasonable amount. Even buying in bulk from Blurb I am paying about $8 a unit. I'm exploring commercial printers and if the pricing seems reasonable I will need to transfer the book to a non-proprietary software. Pages is an obvious contender but I'm wondering if folks can share their experiences using Pages for this type of project. I have Photoshop Elements but that seems cumbersome.
Any comments are appreciated. Thanks.
