Hi vroger,

I've used Shutterfly for calendars and notecards, but not a coffee table 
book.  At least for the calendars, the default is that the pix start out 
cropped, which I also found very odd.  But you can change that...I don't 
remember how, but if you poke around the options I'm sure you can figure it 
out.  By the way, I've used several places for calendars, and shutterfly 
makes the best I've seen.  Many of my family xmas presents this year were 
shutterfly calendars!

I've used mypublisher.com for a coffee table book, which I'm told now has 
icc profiles available.  You can control the layout/cropping very precisely 
yourself.  Might be a little more expensive than shutterfly, but not orders 
of magnitude.

Good luck,
Aaron
