Understanding Blurb

I have been investigating into different websites that produce photobooks. Blurb is one that I've been told about before and I have looked into before but never had enough content to put in, to create a book. Before when I looked at Blurb I was able to look at it without having to download anything but today I had to download Bookwright in order for me to create anything. Today I have only created a draft but I have made it how I would like it if I used Blurb.
The whole process of creating the book isn't hard it's very straight forward to upload images onto the program and to add them to any page that you like. With the book that I was creating I had a maximum of 20 pages which I am happy with as at the moment I don't have enough images to fill the 20 pages.
The bit that confused me about Blurb is the type of book that I was creating because it doesn't actually tell you. I clicked on the book that I wanted to create and then Bookwright just opened up in front of me but didn't tell me what I was creating and the prices. I tried to find out what I was creating but couldn't work it out. I was only able to find the price out afterwards when the book had uploaded. The price of my book came to about £45 which is a price I am not happy to pay.
In order for me to use Blurb I will have to research into it a bit more and work on Bookwright to try and work out how to find out information before the book is uploaded.


I have added some text on the first picture of each different location shot to show the transition of the places. I have used a font that I feel makes the book look really professional. I have also placed the text in different corners of each page to make it look a bit more quirky and so that the writing has a neutral colour that doesn't look silly.
