Q: reprint of book made with iPhoto?

Many years ago I made a book for my wife in iPhoto.  Is there any way to order a reprint of the same book? I no longer have the book/project in my iphoto library.

iPhoto '11, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

    no

     

    Books are kept for 40 days for reprits - you need to keep the source for future use

    Apple only keeps the book for 30 days. So if you didn't keep a copy of it yourself then you are going to have to do it again.

    Thank you, Allan and Larry.  I just found the original order confirmation (12/2006).   Looks like I'll have to rummage through my old hard drives to see if I have a backup of the iphoto library from that period.

    For future books you might consider doing what I do:  create a separate library for each book and copy the photos for the book from your working library to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager. 

     

    When the book is completed and ordered burn the library package to a CD, DVD or external HD to archive it so it's available for editing and reordering at a later date if needed.
