@arykg looks divine on iphone right now & can't see shipping details. do you ship internationally? please say yes!
I think, it is great execution and great product.
The problem of this business model is 1) frequency 2) losing magic.
I mean that how many times can a customer can order a photobook? I think it may not be so much. Because in order to order a book, people firstly should create nice content (and it is hard). Secondly, magic effect is important. When gifting it at the first time, it can have a magic; but at the second time, it may perceive a usual gift.
And, i have an idea to skyrocket this business. I think you should add gallery function. I may want to buy a travel blogger's European trip album, or an artist's inspiring photos or other photo collectors.
You can invent a new kind of publishing platform. Imagine it as a "Tashcen for social media age" So, you will solve frequency problem. as a customer, i can buy a new book every period.

@ozguralaz agree with you regarding the magic - have seen that happen with mosaic a similar product. nice idea about ordering other people's books - blurb does this dont know how successful it is.
this is an awesome concept - i'm going to buy one.
i wonder about the business potential:
1) how are they acquiring customers?
2) how did they arrive at at that pricing?
3) what are the margins?
Awesome team, wonderful product. One stop shop for crafting physical books from special memories.
Trivia: also built using Dart. If you have any techt-stack related questions: Dan @dan_schultz might be able to help out :)
We just got ownership of all our wedding photos. Putting together a physical collection of our favorite photos is a weekend project I want to do. I will now be putting this together with Montage.
@KristoferTM We didn't pay for the expensive book the photographer offered. I think their margins on that are way too good.
I'll try this. I made a photo book last year and tried all the different products. The only one that really worked for me was Costco's, actually. Lot of trouble just re-ordering photos in the other options.
@arrington I'd highly recommend it. Mine arrived today and it turned out great. Really high quality and fast shipping. My girlfriend is going to love it. http://imgur.com/1EKacUU
