Last year I learned about a company that produces memory books over the web called FamilyLearn. They have a web service that allows you to create your book and to invite others to collaborate with you on the effort. The name of the service was iMemoryBook.com. Since that time, it has changed to MemoryPress.com.
Upon hearing about it,I immediately went out to the internet to look for it. I found it to be a terrific site that offered everything I was looking for. I had wanted to put together a book documenting memories of my mother who had passed away a few years earlier.
I inquired with the family to see if anyone would be interested in collaborating on this project with me. I got an overwhelming affirmative response, so I purchased the service and went ahead and started the book project. I scanned pictures and typed in memories to get things started.
As time went by, the stories started to come in. As we neared the deadline, the project took on a life of it's own and everyone got very excited about it.
The project finally came together and I was able to order about 29 copies of the book.
It was a great success! The service offered by FamilyLearn was very good and the quality of the book was excellent and everyone who received it loved it.
Recently, I was approached by FamilyLearn to see if we would be willing to tell our story for them on a promotional film they were putting together. We agreed wholeheartedly! Last week, Neal Harmon came to our home to interview us and film our responses. It was very enjoyable. I look forward to seeing the final product.
I heartily recommend this service to anyone who wants to publish a family/personal history or a memoir / memorial book. It was a most rewarding experience.

Good luck.

Hi Uncle Don! Congratulations on the basement. What a job! Good luck painting. I hope to see it soon. We will be in SLC the week of Halloween.
I thought you might want be interrested in this site that helps you print out your blog to become a scrapbook. (I have never seen one so I can't tell you about quality, but it might be worth looking at.)
