I just received my first AsukaBook. I ordered an 80 page 15x10\" Lay-Flat book with the faux leather cover. Included is a hard felt lined case with CD holder. I\'ts a gift for my parents for Christmas. The pictures are of the European cruiser that we went on that spurred my DSLR purchase back in the summer.
The fit, finish, print quality, and overall feel of the book is worlds above anything I could have ever imagined. It was worth every single penny. I\'m beyond anal about printing and the quality that the HP Indigo presses that they use is gorgeous. Every single detail is present in these 5D2 shots after correctly output sizing and sharpening them in CS5. Color is [I]spot [/I]on with my calibrated IPS display and they are nearly identical to the soft proofs.
For those of you who don\'t know, they\'re printed and white-glove inspected in Japan then shipped back to the US. All told it took nearly 3 weeks even when I purchased \"rush\" processing.
They\'ve got a customer for life.
Please excuse the horrible lighting and awkward shadows.
My jaw literally dropped when it arrived yesterday.
