HotPrints is standing on top of the value hill for photobooks. Typical services run for about $20-30 depending on the number of pages, hardcover or softcover, and so forth. HotPrints produces your photobook for a measily $2.95 and ships them for just $0.75 in the United States, which is astoundingly low. In the short time they have been up, they’ve already produced tens of thousands of books. Now they’ve gone one better. Once a month, each user is allowed to receive a photobook completely free (shipping is free as well!). True the book is ad-supported, but the ads are printed on removable pages of the book, and not next to your pictures. HotPrints is able to use your photos on Facebook for their books (which is also where they get information to know what kind of ads to place in the book), and you can use the Facebook application to produce a 8 glossy sheet book, with each sheet displaying multiple color photos. Not bad at all. (Found on TechCrunch)
