Frustraing online tool but excellent printed results
I tried a number of book publish websites - Mixam's was the best in terms of showing me what the book would ultimately look like. The tool was a little frustrating: 3 pages in my PDF had been rotated landscape and this totally flummoxed the tool until I changed the PDF to rotate them portrait like the other pages. You have to tell the tool at the very beginning the exact number of pages in your PDF - not sure why it can't just figure it out from the uploaded PDF, and/or let you add/remove pages as necessary. After a while I got all of the tool frustrations figured out and proceeded with printing. Not sure why the book had to sit 'in production' for almost 2 weeks before they finally printed it. With that said... once printed the book shipped right away and the quality of the book was outstanding. I'd definintely use Mixam again.
