I've used Aldi photo books in the past and would happily recommend them, however, Bonus Print have some great offers available through www.moneysavingexpert.com so I used them this time.

When you've done a big trip and you have so many fabulous memories I think a book is a marvellous idea.
Imagine presenting 1000 individual photos to a friend and saying "have a look at these" - people would start running when they saw you coming. Photo books look wonderful on the bookcase and let you relive the good times in your own time. I look at old photo books all the time- more than I ever would on the computer. We also lost some photos when an old computer crashed so don't want that to happen again.
Top tips
Use your own photos as a background - it's a good way of including photos you may not bother with otherwise.
Maps of the areas or routes taken make good backgrounds too - you can download these within the Bonusprint website.
Put a border round your photos so they stand out from the background
Take photos of souvenirs and include them - the back cover of this photo book is a photo of all the National Park brochures.
The odd full page or double page spread breaks up the book and is a good way of showing off photos you may be really pleased with. I used them for the iconic sights such as Niagara and Mt Rushmore.
Text boxes are useful for noting the names and dates of places visited, especially if you've gone off your route and visited out of the way places ( like we did with Bridal Falls and Snake Creek).
Have fun with it all - quirky angles, funny backgrounds, clip art etc all add to the impact.
Take your time - don't send it off until you're happy with it.
Happy photo booking 😀🐼
