I have used Photo Works only twice but both times have been very 
satisfied with their quality, prices, and turnaround, not to mention 
they are very courteous.  I had them print individual left and right prints 
so I have some freedom when mounting, and the size is compatible 
with Holmes size mounts, and I think they can also print both left 
and right on a single print, ready to slip in a Q-Vue mount or other 
(unless that is Grand Photo I'm thinking of -- I don't have the info 
directly in front of me).  Their prices are lower than Grand Photo, 
and they credit you towards future purchases if you overpay, as well 
as let you pay any balance due at a later date with future purchases.  
They send out any rolls received within 24 hours so they are very 
timely and efficient.  I FedExed a roll overnight and had the prints 
back in 3 days!!  That's tough to beat.  And they return the 
negatives uncut (rolled up and put in a film container -- they'll put 
them in a sleeve first if you request it).  To contact them, call the 
number below and ask for Nancy (she can fax you prices and 
information and help answer any questions you may have).

Photo Works
4 S. Midland Ave.
Joliet, IL 60436
Phone: (815) 744-6700

I am not affiliated with them, just think they did a good job for me, and 
am sharing my experience.  For fairness, to contact Grand Photo, who 
also does Realist prints, they are at:

Grand Photo
1681 Grand Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55105
Phone: (612) 699-9886

Good luck!
