Get your digital photos out of their hard-drive nooks with today's Groupon to A&I Books, recently featured by Hewlett-Packard as a way to get high-quality photography books. For $20, you get $60 worth of custom-designed photo books that are perfect to display the photos you took of the Ansel Adams exhibit. Make a handful of small books to promote your art, photography, or theater production, to commemorate your dog with his own coffee-table tome, or to give your significant other, mother, or mailman a sweet gift for the holidays. This Groupon can't be used toward shipping costs; shipping for most orders is $15, but depends on quantity and speed. To redeem for multiple books, all copies must be for the same project.

A&I Books makes making your own photo book easier than sticking photos into slipcovers for a photo album, and the results are brilliant and professional. After receiving your Groupon, go to A&I Books to download its free, intuitive software. Drag and drop your digital photos into the program's templates, and use the ID# on your Groupon to activate your credit at checkout. Your custom-designed book will be printed in-house at A&I on high-quality paper with superior image saturation and color density. The finished product will be delivered to your door, or to your office in the Dojo District if you prefer. Books are available in hard and soft cover. Get a few small 4" x 4" and 5" x 5" books ($14 for soft cover with 40 pages, $24 for hard cover) or an 8.5" x 11" hard cover with 60 pages ($53). If you have a bigger project in mind, you can use your Groupon toward the cost and pay the remaining balance.

Perfectly bound family photos on high-quality paper make thoughtful holiday gifts for anyone, especially people who prefer photo books to word books. If you don't own photos, make new memories by getting together with friends for a photo shoot and preserving them on bound pages, or gain exposure for your artistic talents with a perfect portfolio option.

Note: You have one year to use this Groupon. This deal is for photo books created using A&I's Book Creator software, and can't be used for custom-made books using InDesign or Photoshop.
