can I create a hardcover book

I have used iphoto and created photo books but now I want to create a hardcover book with mainly stories with a few photos. Iphoto provides very little space in its text boxes for text and I understand that ibook author will produce and ebook but will it allow me to produce a hardcover book of stories from the ebook format? Or is there a better Mac friendly programme to do this??

Thanks,

GH
