Image Wrap option means that the cover photo is imprinted into the
texture of the cover rather than having a separate glossy-paper book
cover (dust jacket).
Advantage of Image Wrap option is that it will be more durable; with
frequent handling, a paper dust jacket can easily be torn.
Advantage of Dust Jacket option is that the cover image will be much
higher quality. Plus you will have whatever material the editor chose
to put on the inside flaps front and back. Underneath the dust jacket
is a plain black cover.
Softcover is like Image Wrap: the image is printed on the cover
material itself and there are no inside flaps with whatever the
editor may have included there. However, with the softcover, because
of the material used, the image quality on the cover will be closer
to the paper dust jacket than to the Image Wrap version. And the
softcover itself is also prone to damage from careless handling, but
it will be more durable than the paper dust jacket.
Summary:
Cover image quality: Dust Jacket > Softcover > Image Wrap
Durability of cover: Image Wrap > Softcover> Dust jacket
Durability of book: Image Wrap = Dust Jacket > Soft cover
Extra editorial material on cover flaps: Dust Jacket version only

What is it "picture wrap" or "image wrap" or whatever wrap option
there is on Blurb site when you get to choose the finish of the book?

FedEx just delivered the prototype PDML book and everything looks
OK, so I've made the page "live" and you can order as of this minute.
I've made some minor changes and corrections (typos, missing
italics, and one duplicated photo) from the test book, but all the
images looked fine, so I'm confident what you get will look as
good as what I have here.
The bottom line is that you folks are some *fine* photographers!
I'm very proud to be involved in this project!
The necessary URL's:
PDML Book "official" page: http://www.robertstech.com/pdmlbook
Blurb order page: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/572831
Like that cover image? It's a photo mosaic containing all the
photos in the book (plus the ones that were submitted but didn't
make it into the book due to space limitations). You can buy a
16x20" poster of the book cover in the PDML Cafe Press shop:

Or get a PDML Book t-shirt:

And on a tangentially-related note, you have a new coffee mug
option available in the PDML shop. It has the PDML logo and a Bob
W. quotation from last year's list:
