Layout Printing & Photobook Printing Sites
These are the two publishers I have used. They both have high quality products, and an interface that makes it easier for digital scrapbookers to upload full page layouts and print them individually or in photobooks.
Persnickety Prints - Professional photographic prints, photo books, lay-flat photo books, and photo gifts. I have printed 12 x 12 prints with them, and the prints are high quality and their shipping is super-fast! I haven't tried their photo books yet, but plan to.
Heritage Makers - Photo books, gifts, and scrapbook pages. They are a direct-selling company with independent consultants to assist their customers. Their pricing scheme is a bit tricky - as it is based on buying publishing points rather than individual products. I have printed photo books and individual scrapbook pages with them. All are high quality - their scrapbook pages are on a bit thicker paper than Persnickety Prints (but are also a bit more expensive). Their photo book layout software is unique in that you can manually adjust your page with the bleed/margin marks to make sure nothing important gets cut off when printing.
Tutorials
Here are some sites with some great digital scrapbooking tutorials. You'll find tutorials for Photoshop Elements, as well as other common digital scrapbooking software.
