[Leica] 2021 Yearbook

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

There are tons of Blurb clones, at 25% of the price, mainly catering to the
big fat Indian wedding market, with surprisingly good quality.

No chance at their prices, they will not even get a foothold. The only
advantage that Blurb brings, and a rather limited one at that, is a
worldwide marketplace. It is much simpler to print a few, and sell physical
copies as well as Kindle editions through Amazon.

One of my friends who runs a studio will print a 5x7 book with 20 inkjet
prints, bound professionally, at under US$20.

Cheers
Jayanand
