Publishing Family History into Bound Book?

Hello all! I am a new user of iFamily for Tiger and love it a lot already. For me, the research and investigating has become a daily addiction as I imagine a lot of you also experience. While the collection and verification of data is all well and good, I really want to be able to share my information to my family. With the holidays just around the corner, I want to present my research in a printed, bound book that I can give to my siblings as gifts. So, my question is: how have any of you done this very thing? I need recommendations as I am running out of time to get this done before Christmas.

On a related note: have any of you checked out or used Ancestry.com's new publish service? It lets you upload your family history and then select layouts, charts, etc on a variety of backgrounds & fonts & colors, etc. Once done, you can buy a printed and bound version for around $30. Is this worth the effort? Are there better, competing companies I should check out?

Thanks in advance!!
