p.1 #1 · Wedding guest sign in book?

I have a new bride who wants to use her engagement images within a guest sign-in
book...I guess the pics would be on the left side facing a blank sign in page with lines on it. I don't have any problem with designing it, but who would produce a book that has writeable paper in it?

Vision Art is our favorite for this. fast turnaround too

a popular way to do this is to shoot a lot of nice horizontals and use a gradient in Photoshop to make the photo as a dual page spread go from full color to paper white by the end page so you can write directly on the picture so to speak.

I'm actually interested in doing this too.

Coreypolis: are you talking about www.visionartbook.com? Which book or option do you use for this? Any special paper request from them?

Thanks!

Could you post an example of how you do this?

I could be wrong...but I think ArtLeather also offers a book for just this type of application.

asuka is what I use for this...it's not an ideal writing surface. But ballpoint pents will work ok for it.

I offer these in my packages, people like them.

I use Zookbooks for these ones, as they are small and fairly inexpensive. I wouldn't use Asuka as the pages don't lay flat, but I use Asuka for my regular books though.

I use a flush mount page with protective coating. A scripto fine point works and does not smear. Not a fancy pen but it gets the job done. Tuscany makes a low cost one but cheap looking cover. I prefer a leather cover 10x7 from Leather Craftsmen.

Look at WHCC press printed books as well as sharedink (photographers program) books. Both are very inexpensive and have decent quality. We offer these standard and upgrade to Vision Art.
