Hi Rod
Firstly, do you have Photoshop? My following suggestions may not work in
iPhoto but you may be able to work out a way of doing it anyway.
I would suggest you try & set up your pages, including text as part of the
photo, so as to print them as a composite image on a canvas size of 20inches
by 32inches (this is called a Poster Size Print by the prof labs). The
poster would need to be saved as a JPEG with a DPI of around 200 - 300. Save
to CD and take to someone like Mirage Photo Lab in Hay St Subi or
Fitzgeralds in North Perth. You could then trim up each page out of the
Poster Print & either have the pages spiral bound (adding your own card or
whatever cover) by an office supply retailer or ask the photo lab to trim &
spiral bind for you.
Poster prints average around $35.
Hope this helps
