Dc tester 2 - blurb v. lulu

My second book arrived from Blurb today.
The initial evaluation is that it is much larger, giving me more room to play around with the layout. The images are considerably clearer than the images in Lulu. Im still not sure about the glossy cover, i think that it adds a tackiness to the book, which isn't what i wanted.
When you look at the type and the images the quality is much better, and i think that its a good idea to use both futura and avant garde.



The comparison between the two, apart from the obvious size difference. I defiantly prefer the larger book. The page is a slight off white which i think adds a more professional aesthetic to the Blurb publication. Although the blurb book is more expensive, i am looking for quality, and from the looks of it i am going to get this with Blurb.
