Lightroom book module

[TheodoraI]

Why does Lightroom only have printing with Blurb? Blurb i used it many time. Their quality are preaty good and cheap but they have limited choices. What if i want to create a layout book and send it to different printing office and also i want to change the sizes of the book? Does anyone know how to do it?

It was 2012 when Adobe added the Book & Map modules to Lightroom v4 (probably incorporating the Blurb book design software within Lr).  And along with a large reduction in price it was (IMO) a promotion to sell the product to more users. Unfortunately the Book module is not the major purpose for Lr-Classic so new features are added rarely. Adobe InDesign would be the software for 'serious' book design work.

To your questions- You can export a PDF (or export JPGs) to be printed by other book printshops.

The available Book Sizes are fixed in Lr, but note that the Book: PDF & JPG, Book size formats have a couple more size options.

Requests to allow a larger choice of Page sizes have repeated frequently over recent years.

Custom templates was the last major update for the Book module- BOOK UPDATES in v7.5
