Assuming your photos are digital, you can do a digital scrapbook through mypublisher. Go to their website (www.mypublisher.com) download the free software, choose the book you'd like to do (travel in my case) and follow the directions. I did that with our Africa pictures and was very pleased with the results.

If you mean a coffee table book type scrapbook and not a web based or slideshow style - one option (probably similar to My Publisher) is Shutterfly.com. You upload photos and use their online options for different backgrounds and arrangements of photos. They print the book and mail it to you. I recently made one of our Rick Steves Italy tour and am very pleased with the results.

Shutterfly is AWESOME! I've done a number of books - they have 12"x12", 8"x8", and smaller formats, and you can also put 12"x12" scrapbook pages together. Their charges are reasonable, and as someone who spent a fair amount for Christmas gifts, pix of our daughter's wedding and such, I get all sorts of discount offers from them. In addition to the books, you can also make calendars (starting any month you want) that are really nice. Lots of other goodies as well. Check their website out - shutterfly.com
