What's the bestest way to self-publish?

Has anyone used blurb.com? More to the point, what are my options for self-publishing?

I am enamoured of the idea of putting together a hardcover of wedding pictures -- Blurb looks okay, if a bit hard to customise (and the shipping costs to Canada are too steep.) Any other ways to get a hard or softcover, perfect bound 40-60 page book with a very small print run?

Best answer: Kevin Kelly compared Blurb & Lulu last week in Cool Tools.

Best answer: I do this all the time (as my side business but haven't used Blurb yet. (I like Shutterfly, and I used to like Imagestation. I hate MyPublisher.)

One option (that I use) is to create the pages in Photoshop and then use the full-bleed layout in the photo website templates.
