My roommates took a nice long trip last summer. They spent a month on the road, covered over 5,000 miles. On the road they kept a journal and took LOTS of pictures. When they got back home they spent a few months putting together this coffee table book. Got it done in time to give out at Christmas. The book is beautiful. I got one for my parents and they love it. Check out the preview, buy a copy for the coffee table. The print quality of the book is exceptional. Really is a top quality.
If your interested in making a book like this check out Blurb. I'm not sure of the details but you get a certain percentage of the sale of the books. They handle the production and inventory(probably just make another as they are ordered). A+ for quality.
