HELP regarding photobook printing

Oh dear! I just now went to the site where I get my greatgrand son's hard cover yearly books made up and printed (Artscow) to find that they have shut down. All content will be deleted at the end of April, it says, (although it is still there as of today). On that site I have book previews for all the grandkids' hard cover photo books (about 30) saved. The LO pages are saved there individually as well....losing those is not an issue as I have them all saved on hard drives but I did like to go back to the site and flip through the completed books from time to time. I gave them to the grandkids when I made them but didnt get copies for myself (way to expensive) . So does anyone know a way to save those previews off the site? And does anyone have suggestions for another photobook printing site?
 
I am keeping my eye on this thread in case I want to reprint any of my albums I lost in our flooded home, if I can find the pages to print on my saved EHDs.
 
The only experience I have had is with Shutterfly. I wait for their free unlimited pages after you pay for the first 20 pages. So I did an 8 x 11 with 111 pages for $37 which ends up at 34 cents a page. Still can get spendy depending on how many total layouts you have. If you have the layouts on hardrive as a jpg very easy to upload. The other suggestion I would possibly have is to get a digital picture frame. One that doesn't use wi-fi gives a bit more privacy if concerned about using wifi; you would put your layouts on a usb drive (or sd card) upload them unto the frame and view them. Or you can get one that uses wi-fi and others can also share their photos if they want. I think you can change the timing on either as to how long you want the photo showing before it automatically moves to the next one.
 
@Jill - would their customer service be able to send you a zip drive of all your content? Or a way to download it all? I've only used Shutterfly, as well. Super happy with their quality AND their customer service. They stand behind their products and will do what they can to make things right. When I made our wedding album, I misspelled February on the COVER!!! They let me send back the misspelled album and resent me a new one once I fixed my mistake. I was very grateful!
 
@breoni Thank you, that is an idea. I don't know if the site is still monitored but I will check. It is the flip book previews I want, I have all the LOs already saved on hard drives. I will give Shutterfly a look.
 
Jill, the only other suggestion I have is to use a screen recording software and record your screen as you flip through the book
