We really like the custom book-jacket-maker feature, which you can use to replace a lost or damaged jacket or create your own custom book covers.īookMaker is freeware certified for Windows versions up to Vista, but we installed in Windows 7 with no trouble. Clicking an image calls up an Image Toolbox that allows various adjustments. The wizard-based guide walks you through each step of creating your book. There's also a full Help menu that includes links to chat and Web-based assistance. Opening BookMaker's interface includes a Quick-Start Guide in the left-hand panel but also initiates an optional but helpful quick-start video.
While we didn't go so far as to purchase any of them, the examples displayed on MyPublisher's Web site appear attractive and well-made and offer an alternative to traditional prints at a comparable cost. The choices range from paperback PocketBooks editions costing 10 bucks to coffee-table-style hardcover books that are three times more expensive, as well as calendars, postcards, and greeting cards. MyPublisher's BookMaker is a free photo album maker with a twist: You use it to create, organize, and edit your photo album, and then order online one of several printed photobook options at various prices, which are custom-printed and shipped to you.
