I have had 2 books done as wedding guestbooks where I ordered it Friday afternoon and I got them to Saturday deliver the books. They have a matte surface and think glossy UV coating surface. Always excellent quality. My average WHCC book price is $79. Asuka are great as well, though I don't see the printing any better than WHCC. I know Adorama uses real Fuji RA-4 paper for their books, but I've yet to try one. I've always liked Blurb, but for client books I've stayed with WHCC.
