Making Photo Books

Don't you just hate it when someone goes and messes up a good thing. 

Before the wedding, I created our guest book using Sam's Club's Photo Center online. 

It was so easy. The book turned out great, and it was rather inexpensive. 

Fast forward a few months later and I am ready to make a few similar books with our wedding photos. 

I would really like to have a getting ready book, a ceremony book and a reception book. 

I know that's overkill but it sure would be nice! 

However, my beloved Sam's Club has since "update" their photo centers online photo book making situation.  I am less that thrilled. Sure, it was more high-tech... I guess in some people's point of view that is a good thing, but y'all, I just like to keep it simple! 

Does anyone have any simple/inexpensive ideas/sources for photo book making? 

What have you used before? 

Although my mother would be devastated for me to use anyone other than Sam's Club I am on the prowl for what is easiest.  

Here is what I am looking for:

-no backgrounds

-no picking from 8 million layout options

-no butterflies

-no bubble font 

-a full-photo cover option 

Rawr, why do people have to mess up a good thing?

Thanks in advance for help!
