Creating a Book
It’s easier to create a book in iPhoto than it is to get all your photos printed and paste
them up in a scrapbook. Once you’ve created your masterpiece, you have a variety of
options to share it: You can play it as a slideshow, print it on a color printer, or order it
as a bound book.
In this section, you’ll learn how to create a book, including choosing the size and
theme, as well as how to make some basic changes, such as adding photos or moving
them around.
To create a book:
1
Select the photos you want in your book using one of the following methods.
 To use an entire film roll or album, click it in the Source list (in the top-left corner of
the iPhoto window).
 To pick and choose among the photos in an album or your library, open the album
or library and hold down the Command key as you click each photo you want.
2
Choose File > New Book.
3
Choose a hardcover or softcover book size from the Page Type pop-up menu.
4
Select a theme for your book from the scrolling themes list.
When you select a book theme, you can see an example of it to the right of the themes
list. (For detailed descriptions and prices, click the Options + Prices button to go to the
iPhoto website.)
If you chose a hardcover book and want photos to be printed on only one side of your
book pages, deselect the "Double-sided pages" checkbox.
5
Click Choose Theme. (iPhoto switches to book view. Your new book appears in the
Source list, and the photos you selected are shown above in the photo browser as
thumbnails.)
6
Drag photos from the photo browser onto your book pages. If you have more photos
than you need to fill up all your book pages, you can just leave the extras in the photo
browser. If you need more photos, see “Making Changes to Your Book” on page 18.
7
If you want, type a new name for your book in the Source list.
