I don't use Blurb either. I've heard too many horror stories about the inconsistent quality of their books. DotPhoto's EuroBook has been the best quality photobook I've found so far.
I use iPages (Mac) for the MagCloud issues I create. http://www.magcloud.com/browse/Issue/97159 I've found it to be pretty easy to use and very flexible on what I can do with the program. It is also a lot cheaper than most layout programs. ~Liz Liz Masoner Guide to Photography http://photography.about.com | Need. Know.

I use Apple's Pages and Aperture applications to do photo book layouts and render to PDF. Blurb can handle PDFs ... you can get dimensioning specifications for their different standard layouts from them. These applications do a very good job ... Aperture in particular has an excellent photo book layout capability (something I'd like to see a little more of in Lightroom). InDesign would be nice but my needs at present are such that I'm not yet willing to spend the money for it.
