YAH!!!! I was a little concerned with the 'order book' they should really name it as 'upload', cos the order seems like a confirmation.
After you have uploaded the book, you will be brought to the site, and the book will be up there for 15 days until you order the first book, then the book will be in their server for a year. (I think it's a year...)
You can set it to private if you don't want people to view your book, I left it as public, after all, I have it up in my blog, nothing so private already.
By the way, have you checked the local book printer? I mean, if it adds up to lower cost or equivalent (in terms of shipping and all) you may want to try the local printer instead, so that you have more time to play.
I just checked through my book last night, and I think I am just the lucky batch, all pages are good, but do expect that the print is like those you see in recipe books, which I am fine, because I wasn't expecting photograph paper print.
I read through the blurb group in flickr, some complained about the print, some sang praises. I have a feeling that I have low expectation (although I am really very anal with print quality given that I do illustration and print work), and I am really thrilled with the fact that I printed my own book.
Do consider the odds before you print eh. For me, the price is good for me, especially with the discount. heee. If the 29.95 discount expires, there is another new coupon up today, 20% off total (not including shipping), some discount better than no discount eh.
OMG! My reply is turning into a book! I got to run to make orders now, will check back during breaks eh.
