My Blog Instantly Transformed Into A Book!
Abracadabra!
Hocus Pocus!
Sim Sala Bim!
Presto!
These are a few of the terms one might use if magic was indeed needed to convert an online blog into a hard copy, paper print, real tangible book. The type of book you can hold & feel, turn pages, doodle upon, etc. I repeat, no prior experience in the field of "Magical Arts" is necessary to instantly transform your blog into a real life book. You, too, can pull a book out of your blog....and with just one-click!
Check it out for yourself at Blogger's Blog2Print / SharedBook partnership site.

I believe this includes a book up to 20 pages in length. Overall, I found the creation of my blog into a book incredibly easy (one-click) and flipping through the online electronic version of my newly created book blog was very fun. It has been a while since I reviewed other online programs or applications that perform the same function, only as a standalone tool (you create the book and go find a printer to finish it) so it is hard for me to truly compare SharedBook.com to anything else at the moment. However, I can only imagine that taking the content of your blog and creating one big document for a local printer (like Kinko's) to print and bind couldn't be all that hard or expensive.
The key to this newly formed partnership between Google (Blogger.com) and SharedBook, Inc. is the shear convenience of being able to create a custom book at the click of a button. Shipping is free and the quality of the finished product is outstanding.
