Subject: [Leica] The 2008 LUG Yearbook Has Begun--PLEASE READ!

Here are the pixel dimensions recommended by Blurb:

10 x 8 (landscape): 2884x2471
8 x 10 (portrait): 2462x3000

7 x 7: 2063x2067
13 x 11: 3788x3263

It is not "the more the better", since you don't want Blurb's software  
to resize your image. And you do not want to submit images that are  
less that these, since the last thing you want is to have Blurb's  
software upsize your images.
