I had a similar probably 5 years ago with Lulu - the US produced proof
copies were fine, but the new European plant came onstream just after that.
The results were completely unacceptable, but after a protracted (four month
long) effort with Lulu to track down where the problems were an how to
resolve them I got Lulu to reprint for free. It was a US$1000 order!
I have to commend their willingness to make things right in the end, but
could not recommend Lulu for a photo book.

I got a 7x7 done by Blurb - just about reload it as I regarded the first
attempt as a proof. It came from the printing unit in Rotterdam. I was well
pleased with the image quality but I was rather careful to follow their
instructions as to sizing, etc.
It took me three goes to get a good copy of GeeBee's book - first two were
misbound. But the European plant was only just getting going at that time.
