I made one a while ago, and it was around 5 days from I ordered it online until I held it in my hands.

Be sure to check out the apple iphoto support threads- many people have reported that increasing one of the plist settings can result in a book with significantly improved quality - basically you change the info sent to Apple from 150dpi to 300dpi -

Darn, wish I had known that, I got my book back and it was 'ok' but not the great print job I expected it to be (like the photos always come out)

All the photos were shot on a 8MP Canon so the quality was there for the taking.

Yeah, people in those discussions actually ordered 2 copies of the same exact book, using the different settings, and they said there was a VERY noticeable difference-
