Raleigh, N.C. (PRWEB) December 15, 2004 -- -- Lulu (http://www.lulu.com), the company that democratized on-demand book publishing for authors, noticed a new community flocking to its site over the last year: scrapbookers. Scrapbooking--a popular hobby that has given rise to a flood of books, DVDs, clubs, and even college courses on the subject--is now going online as families use digital photos and images to create full-color, bound books as family keepsakes using Lulus easy, free, book-publishing tools.
I started scrapbooking before it was trendy," says Gail Kavanagh, editor of Scrapmag.e, an online craft magazine for scrapbook hobbyists (http://www.lulu.com/Scrapmage). Through fan websites and forums, many people have discovered that they can use Lulu.com to publish their own scrapbooks."
Lulu has been tracking the increasing demand for a way to publish scrapbooks and genealogy books," says Henry Hutton, director of Lulus online community. In response we have used our experience in on-demand publishing to make it easy for people to preserve and share their memory books in high-quality paperback formats."
