If you send a 72 DPI photoshop document to the printer, it's gonna look like crap. If you send the image directly to the printer, it will take care of the DPI embeded in the image, personally I never send images direcly to the printer, I always use some soft to lay the image the way I want in

If you scan your 3x5 photo at 72 dpi ... then you are in trouble, but note that in your example, 72 dpi is the resolution of the SCANNER, not the image. And if you want your 3x5 photo to appear in this coffee table book at a print size of 6x10, they're gonna tell you to scan it in at 600 dpi,
