Mark, download the smartbook software.
The short version is 300ppi, sRGB, work out the size you want on the page 
e.g. how much white surround. You can see some common
sizes recurring in last years book. I aimed to make mine about one of those 
sizes. 7.6 in x 5.3 (2271x1538)that size this year,
rather than have the Blurb software resample my pictures. 
Full page no margin 9.6x8.2 in 
I went for 2280 px by 1500 px (landscape). Of course 300ppi in your file is 
not the same as printing resolution but, functionally
close enough.
Cheers
Geoff

I've been on the Blurb site for a half hour cant find a hint of the kind of 
specs which would be ideal or close for these pix or any
specs at all.
Can anyone give me a hint were to look or what they are?

Three hundred cubits in length, and fifty in breadth, and thirty in height!"
What's a cubit?
