I don't know if this topic has been discussed here before, but I am currently putting together a book of photos and poetry using
this free software. So far, it's pretty simple. I've got the cover designed and saved, photos uploaded and am getting ready to put the book itself together (photos/poetry). It's really kinda cool.
I suppose there are many different types of software for this exact thing out there, but this one, as I said, seems to be fairly easy to use so far even for an old fart like me!
You might want to check it out.
