“I have recently been delighted to see in print the book that I've worked on for over two years using Bob Books Designer software. It is about my father's years serving with the RAF in Canada during the 1940s, created because I had found a large collection of photographs, letters and other memorabilia that he had left, and I wanted to preserve it all together in printed form. Having previously made simple holiday albums online using other companies, I knew that for this project, I needed a wider choice of features than they offered. No standard template would accommodate the large variety of different material I wished to include, so freedom over the layout of each page was vital. Moreover, with no prior design experience and only basic computer skills, I had to find a program that would allow me freely to intersperse images between text boxes. And within a single text box, I wanted to be able to employ a variety of fonts, styles and print colour, in order to differentiate clearly between my father’s own words, quotes from other sources and my own explanatory commentaries. To speed things up, I also wanted to be able to copy, paste and edit written material I had prepared earlier. After comparing various companies, Bob Books Designer software seemed to provide exactly the flexibility, ease and clarity of use I was looking for. It was also good to have my work in progress safely stored on my laptop so I could easily return to it at any time. When I was finally ready to send in my order I accepted the suggested Classic paper and ‘Perfect’ binding, and when, after a short wait, I saw the actual finished book, I was absolutely delighted. My layouts seemed to work well, the page backgrounds I'd tentatively chosen from the wide range offered were nicely varied without being dominant; the text was clear and, in many cases, to my great surprise, the quality of the reproduced photos in the album was an actual improvement on Dad’s originals! For efficiency, ease of software use, customer communication, binding and printing quality, I would highly recommend Bob Books.”

“Very happy with the book I made with Bob Books. I found the tools easy to use and very intuitive. Lot of choice in options you can use. I designed my own book and really enjoyed the process. The quality of the book is excellent and better than other companies in my opinion. Also very good communication when I had some questions related to making the book.”

“Just received my Bob Books photobook today. I am very pleased with the quality of the book. However, I also want to express my thanks for Bob Books arranging for a typo I made to be corrected which involved a lot of effort on their part. As a result, I have an excellent memory of a fabulous holiday to Senegal and The Gambia. A big thank you.”

“I’ve made a lot of photo books over the years, but this one really mattered – it captures the final season of my son’s school rugby team, created at the boys’ request as they left school and wanted something lasting to remember their rugby by. Bob Books’ exceptional paper, spot-on colour reproduction, and completely reliable process made it the perfect way to turn a season into memories they’ll keep for life. That’s why Bob Books is the benchmark I measure other photo books against.”

“I use Bob Books because the desktop interface is quite easy to use - very intuitive. I generally use them make albums of various trip we make - the albums can be personalised from the cover to the layout. I always choose Luster - never Glossy, as it suits the images better, both colour and monochrome. Standard Portrait - you may have noticed that I tend to shoot in the portrait format (but not always). It seems to be a habit I've got into. And I don't use any template design; I prefer to make it up as I go along. Except for the cover, and then I may take ideas from a number of designs and modify to suit. The software is, as I said before, quite intuitive.”

“For the past ten years, I’ve trusted Bob Books to preserve our most precious memories. I first discovered them when searching for the perfect photobook provider—one that could truly honor the moments we wanted to keep alive. Their quality immediately won me over. I’ve found that the Matte Photographic paper paired with the Standard Landscape format is the perfect combination to revive the emotions of the places we visited. The matte finish gives every image a natural, lifelike feel, almost as if we’re standing there again. I design the layout for each album myself, and Bob Books’ software has always given me the freedom and creativity I need. It’s intuitive, flexible, and a joy to use—making the process of preserving our memories as meaningful as the memories themselves."”

“I have been working with Bob Books for almost ten years. I have produced a calendar and usually one or two books every year. The key strengths of this company include: 1. Responsive customer service. They respond immediately and in person to telephone calls and very promptly to emails with queries. 2. Their software is relatively simple to use but is capable of considerable flexibility. They also offer a myriad of templates if people prefer to use these. 3. The software offers a lot of control over colour which is important for reproducing photographs. 4. The range of papers that they offer is limited but well chosen and simple to choose between. 5. The binding and finishing of their books is good. 6. The turn around time is prompt and their delivery service is excellent The tracking of orders is simple. They are a pleasure to work with.”

“There is a big problem with the online creator program. The spine of the book prints upside down. Although the company admit the issue, 6 months on they still have not fixed the problem. I was given a voucher and told to use the download version or re-print the book with an empty spine. Why not just fix the problem???”

Helpful Report

Posted 11 months ago

We are sorry that the printing of the spine has caused you frustration. The issue is due to differences in the setup of our downloadable Bob Designer Software and our Online Creator method. As discussed with you, we would like to allow our customers greater flexibility on how you can display text on the spine with Online Creator however unfortunately, at the moment, we do not have a time frame for when this increased functionality will be available. In the meantime we hope that you will take up our offer to re-order your book at no extra cost using the voucher code provided. We thank you for your feedback, as customer feedback helps guide our continual improvements to Bob Books software and products. If you have any other queries, please don’t hesitate to contact info@bobbooks.co.uk

The templates option for the book is good, but it's also easy to mix it with pages when you want to do your own thing. My book arrived very promptly and the quality is excellent. Many thanks”
