Where can I get a photo album printed and hardbound?

I’m trying to start my own business doing family photography, and I want to design albums using photoshop/In design. What companies print and bind albums into a nice, professional looking, hardbound book? Is a custom cover possible?

www.dotphoto.com makes albums, but i don’t know if it’s what you want… they have lots of other cool stuff too – you can put a picture on chocolate, I think…

It originally appeared as a series of essays in the New York Review of Books between 1973 and 1977. In the book, Sontag expresses her views on the history and presentday role of photography in capitalist societies as of the 1970s. Sontag discusses many examples of modern photography.
