 Very Easy... July 12, 2008
to make your own memory book. I was able to make one and change some factors to personalize it, easily. I bought another to make for another gift.
Perfect for me April 19, 2008
After my Mother passed away, I wanted a way to create some sort of a tribute to her I could share with my family.
I had ordered a new epson printer and this product came free with it. I spent the requisite time reading and experimenting with it. My first attempts worked wonderfully, which left me with the extra book cover and sheets. Due to the sober concept of the book, I used no captions or titles, which the product allowed. This is not MS Publisher, and isn't intended to be that type of a product. It IS a product that allows you to import photo's, do some touching up and minor cropping, and leaves you with a very professionally hardbound book of memories.
I am ordering a couple more now to send to other family members.

Easy to Use - Great Looking - Somewhat Limiting July 28, 2007
I used the StoryTeller Photo Book to create a keepsake of a family reunion and visit to see my new niece. The StoryTeller Photo Book was very easy to use and created a near-professional looking product. It included simple photo correction capability, wonderful layout templates, and everything you need to make a book in a few hours or more. The long cover and 8x10 pages printed perfectly on my HP Photosmart 2610 printer. I gave the book to my mother and she absolutely loved it. It is a much better than a photo album for displaying photos.
However, the software is somewhat limiting. Even though the book styles and artistic layouts are good, it would be great to have more variety. You cannot limit the number of photos in a given layout or resize the area of a picture on a page. If you need full artistic control, you may find this frustrating. As others have mentioned, you must buy the software along with the book materials for each new project. Limitations notwithstanding however, I intend to buy a few more and then wait for product improvements.
Nice Photo Album January 11, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This product was very easy to use. I used it to make a wedding album for our daughter and they were very exicted about it. The only thing that I was not happy with was the lack of horizonal frames to work with. You can only do so much croping to make a horzonal photo fit a vertical frame. I didi appreciate the extra paper that included.
 a story worth telling August 14, 2006

I wanted to make a children's book for somebody, using my own artwork, scanned into my computer with my own text. I downloaded the software but was disappointed that it did not leave me the freedom to compose my own layouts, but rather had a strict format that had to be used. You could use your own photos, but with somebody else's layout design. So the software was of absolutely no use to me. The book comes with glossy paper, so you can make 20 photo pages that are blank on the back side. That was useless too. I never used the paper. Also, I couldn't get the printer to accept 8 by 10 rather than 8.5 by 11.5 paper. I ended up buying double-sided matte paper, printing on both sides and having a 40-page book. I couldn't get the cover to print straight either, so I finally printed my cover design on a piece of glossy paper and glued it on. It looks nice, but I essentially paid the money for the book alone. The software and paper were a waste. I wish the company would make software that can be used by us more creative types for a book of our OWN design. I also wish Epson would make a 25-page book, so I could make a 50-page story.
