Christine - FWIW I'll mention my experience w/Blurb, which was quite positive. I have a pretty plain vanilla monitor - an LCD marketed by Viewsonic (who I understand doesn't actually manufacture them), calibrated with a Spyder 2. I put together a small booklet of photos from my father's 90th birthday celebration and was pleased with the outcome. The pix in the book matched what I saw on the monitor and I wouldn't hesitate to use Blurb for more publications in the future. As Mark mentioned, be sure your photos are tagged for sRGB colorspace as Blurb recommends in their FAQ's. I have read in other forums reports from people who weren't prudent about assigning the correct colorspace tag who were disappointed with the way their photos were reproduced in their books.
