They have 3 different ways of creating the photobook:

I've downloaded the software in the past (first option) and find it very good - plenty of page templates & easy to customise pages (space out & line up photos accurately). I've used other store's online flash based tools in the past and find them very restrictive.
The print quality I've found to be good. Not the best (I'm told), but their prices are not very high (if you buy a voucher). The books are printed in Malaysia and (in the past) sent via DHL.

These look like other good deals:
* 14" x 11" Landscape Imagewrap Hardcover from $44.95 (inc. shipping)
* 11" x 8.5" Medium Landscape Debossed 40pg Hardcover for $32.95 (inc. shipping)
I particularly like the debossed photobooks as they look quite classy wrapped in "leather" or "buckram" (cloth) with about 30 options.
I use them all the time and can say quality is very good. Much better than snapfish and almost as good as apple's
