Kirja painoon? »

Missäköhän olisi sellainen palvelu johon voi lähettää 425-sivuisen kirjan painettavaksi yhdeksi kappaleeksi?

Kaffebordsbok »

Spiffigt. Nu kan jag få mina flickr-foton utprintade som en bok att lägga på kaffebordet. Skulle jag ännu ha så snärtiga bilder att de vore värda att boka…
