Mac OS X Snow Leopard includes iPhoto 09 for all your image needs. iPhoto’s Book mode lets you design and print a high-quality bound photo book based on the images in an iPhoto album. After you format and customize your photo book, iPhoto can send your images as data over the Internet to a company that prints and binds your finished book for you.
If you’re going to create a photo book, make sure that the images have the highest quality and highest resolution. The higher the resolution, the better the photos look in the finished book. Try to use images of over 1,000 pixels in both the vertical and horizontal dimensions.

In Book mode, the Viewer displays the current page at the bottom of the display and adds a scrolling row of thumbnail images above it. This row of images represents the remaining images from the selected album that you can add to your book. You can drag any image thumbnail into one of the photo placeholders to add it to the page. You can also click the Page button at the left of the thumbnail strip.
