Jumping in on pricing
 
$12.95 will get you 20 to 40 pages same price, so a 30 page book, still $12.95 go to 41 pages and you get to the next level.
 
You can use Indesign and export as PDF to Blurb, or use their free Booksmart program. I use Booksmart, rudimentary text editing and formatting, but it works for me

Hi Mark or?
I am extremly interested in this Process thru Blurb ... A question for you I'm struggling with a couple of things in their pricing guide lines.. 

First I take it that any high end B&W print book would be done using the 4 color book model and process.. 

Ok using an example a 4 color 7x7 book that has from 20 to 40 pages softcover it's priced at 12.95 each.. I'm choking on that as I would assume it's 12.95 for 20 pages.. not 40..I can't seem to locate an added cost per page.. their must be an added per page cost isn't there? I would think.. I would think their is.. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing too many with only 20 pages..

Do you send PDF's or use their software..

I have a couple of items in process.. One is pretty close...all done in Indesign using 6 various page templates I have made for content less index cover and 4 other unique pages... As long as it's to their standards it should be ok ...correct?
