I've tried Staples but honestly wasn't impressed by the final product.

2 things to consider:
1. The quality of the paper and the type of paper can really change the look of the final product. Printing matte like cardstock vs gloss like photo paper can really change the final look. My wife made a few photobooks for a special milestone and with the exact same pics, it was crazy how different matte vs gloss and flat vs textured paper would do for the quality of the look as well as "bleeding" of the colors final image onto the tissue paper.
2. You may want to ensure that the photo lab that does the printing does not alter the color of the original photos. I believe London Drugs has a checkbox for not altering the colors. I want to say Vistek was the other, but I honestly do not recall. I also am not sure if there are places where you can request different paper to print on.
