I agree with Frank and Bill and the proposed policy. I've "been
there, done that" in a minor way - i.e. edited a couple of Blurb
books. There were several times in my Venice book where I had to make
choices resulting in leaving out a "better" photo in favor of one
which was more appropriate for the slot on the book page. I'll send
Mark et al two or three images and leave it to them to figure which
one helps build a stronger book. Going through this year's version, I
have to agree with the editors that there was no place to neatly fit
in my second image.

I agree 100%.
If I have 2 or 3 good enough pics I'll submit them and let the
editors decide which one fits better with the rest.
If I 'need' that one picture appears in the book, I'll only submit
this one.
I still haven't received the book but, for your comments it seems
that our first self quality check (before submitting) has worked
quite well....
One of the reasons we decided to go with the suggested submission
format for next years book was because of the very hard decision
making process that went along with having to discard the half
dozen or so photos that we couldn't fit into the book this year.
Believe me, it was extremely difficult choosing the images to leave
out.
For myself, I'd like to see more than one image submitted per
photographer because it does make editing easier.
I think the best thing the submitters could do is to indicate their
own preference for which image goes into the book, and leave it to
the editorial team to make it fit if possible, but leave us with
the option of going to a different image if we can't make the
preferred image fit.
