Blurb launches layflat photo books
San Francisco, Oct. 9, 2017 – Blurb, Inc., the leading creative book and magazine self-publishing platform, announced the launch of layflat photo books, now available at Blurb.com.
With double-thick, layflat paper, customers can seamlessly showcase their creativity across a two-page spread without losing any part of their image to the gutter. Using Blurb’s suite of free, creative tools, including Blurb’s plug-in for Adobe InDesign and Blurb’s PDF Uploader, customers can create beautiful books that display every part of the page for true panorama.
“We worked hard to create a book that retains the bookstore-quality look and feel valued by creative professionals and personal book-makers who use the Blurb platform. Creating new layout possibilities, layflat allows customers across skill levels to tell their story in an impactful way, from personal vacation books, to wedding books, to portfolios.” said Todd Larsen, Chief Executive Officer of Blurb.

The new paper type starts at $49.99 for 20 pages in Blurb’s Small Square, 7×7-inch book, making it the best value for layflat photo books on the market. With a maximum of 110 pages, Blurb’s latest offering also has more room for images, making it among the largest layflat books on the market.
