Local Alternatives to Blurb

    I'm getting a photobook done as part of my final submission for my degree. I've used blurb in the past and have been pretty happy, but I've had samples done in Hackett's on Baggot street and I'm fairly sure I want to go with them this time. Blurb is grand but I'm not a huge fan of the paper they use, and I'd prefer to do a 10x12 book rather than the default large landscape on blurb (11x13).

    The problem is, I don't know of anywhere that does the imagewrap cover that blurb do. I HATE dustjackets, but if there's no alternative, I'll have to get one done :/

    Does anyone have any recommendations for bookbinders who may do Imagewraps, and if not, does anyone know of a good place to get nice dustjackets done?

    Oh, and I'm in Dublin

    I'm not really looking for somewhere that'll do everything for me as I have specific paper I'm using for the pages, I need to find somewhere that'll do the ImageWrap cover and binding on what I've already printed.

    I've heard good things about shakespeare printers before though, I'd forgotten they existed.
