So far I've been working a little on my own, but I would like to get some experience with another photographer before I really try to launch my own business.

So here's the deal, I need a portfolio, CD portfolio and web portfolio I can handle, but I'm wondering what the best way to go is for a book portfolio. Do I need like a photo album style, or should I go with an actual printed photo book, or skip the whole thing?

Any advice would be welcome!

My experience has taught me that your portfolio book should be something that allows you to change images from time to time, because your skill level will change drastically in just a year or two with regular practice professionally. You would not want to spend a great deal of cash on a well produced book, only to be embarrased to show it 2 years from now. I started with a hand-made leather portfolio that a photog friend of mine had made for me. I mounted images in it with photo corners so I could change them out if needed. These days I have several printed books, weddings, seniors, children, etc., but I still don't spend a fortune as I know I will want to update them in as little as 1 year.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!
