My wife made a 50 page book for her father's 75th Birthday party with pictures of his parents and even grandparents, and lots of pictures of him growing up and his children growing up, and his grandchildren beginning to grow up... It was amazing...
My wife gave it to him at a surprise dinner in Fort Worth, TX.. He thumbed through it with tears welling up in his eyes for a good hour... He never let that book out of his sight, it really meant a lot to him.
I highly recommend the iPhoto books... They are quick to ship as well.
It's not US only, but I don't know if they're available from Sweden.As a rookie, I might have a few redundant questions.
- Is it US only?
- Can you easily order it through the comp?
- How is the templates saved, and can you edit them (in regards of layout)
Looking to buy my first mac in a few weeks, so I'm clueless.

Ordering is easy. You push a button that says (in English) "Buy Book". It uploads everything for you.
Here's a thread I created on making my first book:

You have some limited control over the layout. A pro probably wouldn't like it, but you can do a lot with it. Books are made via iPhoto. You have maybe a dozen basic book templates. Within each template, you also have templates for the covers and the inside pages. Again, they're rather limited, but they're also going to help you make a very nice book without a lot of effort.
