I too noticed Blurb had added lay flat pages to their own book compilations. This really should be an inclusion in LightRoom given the ability to include full page spreads in books!
I contacted Blurb who, as already outlined above, told me I need to request this here as this is not something they can control themselves. That's a pity, if it was I think we would have seen it already!
PLEASE ADD LAYFLAT PAGES OPTION to the book module.
Thank you

Please add support for Blurb LayFlat paper in the Lightroom book module. The ability to jump to develop from the Lightroom Book module is a huge advantage over other book creation tools.

I agree! The ability to jump to Develop and tweak photos after they have been laid out in the Book module is a huge advantage. Want to see the LayFlat option added to the Book module.

I'd like to order my books at Blurb out of LR Classic with the LayFlat-Paper-Option. Could you please insert this option in LR Classic?

Great, so you were able to upload the LR Pages and Cover PDFs. Make sure to check the cover preview on Blurb's website. You may need to adjust the cover layout in the LR Book module to compensate for the thicker binding. If necessary you'll then need to upload the revised cover.

It was the PDF-to-Book upload, but I've worked it out. You have to select the "hardcover imagewrap". Layflat doesn't work with the dust jacket.

I agree however, it's so convenient that it's all integrated into LR. I specifically like that I can duck into the Develop module as part of the Book workflow. This is the one huge advantage of the LR Book module that keeps me there.

Just an FYI. If you go to adoramapix.com and look at their superb book creation tool, you'll never "fight" with the book module of Lightroom. This is a professional lab with 10 times as many options as the LR book module and the pricing is competitive with blurb. Their quality is excellent and their customer service is great.

What did you try and what specific issue did you encounter? Was it the PDF-To-Book alternate upload procedure I described above?
