I did one (my Venice shots), helped my wife put one together (her step-mother's 70th Barnard College reunion), and have just finished editing a third (120 pages total, 375 images plus a bunch of text to document our church's trip to Costa Rica this past June. Images from 6 different people with six different types of cameras - I decided not to get too fussy with exact color balance consistency or I would never finish the beast!)

I find their templates too restrictive, their text handling to be primitive (in short, it hoovers), and many of the details like backgrounds and borders and captions and headers/footers are somewhere between a royal pain and totally impossible to work with.

Having said that, the quality is good. If your project doesn't demand too much, it is a good source. If you like everything to be just right, all of the text to line up, etc., you'll do a lot of fiddling.

On balance, I will continue to use it for the several projects on my to-do list.
