“I did a book for my son's 21st birthday. I made a couple of mistakes with repeated photos but overall the book looked great and my son was very pleased”

“We ordered from BobBooks as we had read good reviews. Of BB. We were not disappointed. I had never done a photobook before and was a bit apprehensive but downloaded the software and found it pretty easy to use. I had a few issues but that was down to me not the software! I shall know better how to use it next time. The quality, sharpness and colour rendering were superb. We are delighted with the book and our friends are amazed. We did have a minor hiccup when the postman left our book outside in the rain all day and the pages twisted but one call was all it took to get it replaced foc. I shall certainly use them again. Richard”

“High quality book production that does my photos justice. I have produced several books of holiday photos and I find the software easy to use. Size, shape and layout of photos can be varied to retain the viewer's attention and emphasise the more interesting shots. I keep captions short but they are easy to add. The process of assembly and review is straightforward and I have found it easy to save the work in stages and return to it. Most importantly, the final result is just as it looks on the screen. Delivery time by post is adequately fast enough for my purposes.”

“I have made many albums with Bobs Books and will continue to use the service. The programme is easy to use even for a non techy person like me. When I have experienced difficulties I have been able to get help over the phone from the support team . Many people who have seen my albums have been inspired to make their own . I have recommended bobs books to lots of people. If I could have a request , it would be to have a bigger choice of texts especially faux Hindi and Chinese . As I always make a holiday album after returning from a foreign holiday, I would like more choice of icons from different countries.”

“I had problems with pages coming loose in a one month old book. The company responded quickly to email and full credit for a new copy. Very good service.”

“Hadn't used the software for a couple of years but the new version is a lot easier to use, and I got the book done a lot faster than I'd anticipated. Delivery was also far faster, a matter of days, and this was in the run-up to Christmas. As ever everybody who saw the book was really impressed with how professional the end product it - particularly the binding and paper quality. Only functional gaps we I couldnt see how to insert pages between existing pages - I could only keep adding pages to the end.”

“I have used the Bob Books iPad app and have quickly become a big fan, having now ordered three books. It is easy to use and intuitive and offers a neat solution to the middle-aged nostalgia for hard copies of favourite images or tangible reminders of great holidays in addition to soft copies on phones, computers or tablets. The quality of the books themselves is excellent and was a really nice surprise when the first one was delivered to me. I had not expected the image quality and the general production level of the book to be so high. Delivery times were also pretty fast (generally within a 5 days of submitting the order). Selecting the images and fitting them into the book is pretty easy and I have actually enjoyed the process in contrast to some other apps I have used. The range of different formats and page layouts is good and my only criticism (and request for a change) is that images remained marked as having been used even if you change your mind and remove them from the book to put them in somewhere else. This can mean that you think you have used your favourite images, only to find that this is not the case. A problem which is easily avoided by simply checking back through the book but it would be nice if it could be sorted out so that only images currently in the book are shown as having been selected. Otherwise, an excellent app and top quality service.”

“Excellent product and easy to do but do just need a little patience and take your time. Adding text makes the album good when you look at pictures in future. We didn't do that at first. We have now 3 albums and will do more when needed. Thoroughly recommend.”

“The books were easy to design and so beautiful when they arrived. We are very happy with the end result. Plus when ordering I had to telephone bob books for a query and they were very kind, courteous and helpful. Thank you for a great experience!”

“I enjoyed the experience of building the book, selecting and importing images, and messing around with different templates and layouts. The overall finish of the book is very good. The reproduction of the images is excellent, with no cropping or flaws. The quality is good and the paper is beautiful. My only real criticism is that I initially found the process a little confusing until I had found my way round, and I think a greater choice of templates would be useful. The ones provided are bit limiting, especially the ones with text fields. More choice please! Not cheap but overall a very nice book.”

“I find the books are very good quality and the programme is very easy to use. I have books of my cruises from the last four years (three a year) and of my husband's business trips. I file all the photos we take over the year and then produce a book for the whole year. this is much better than keeping photos on a PC or a 'cloud', or indeed having them printed as photos and not doing anything with them. Once you have tried Bob Books you will love them.”

“I wanted to produce a photo book of my wife's and I year, 2014. I wanted a supplier that I could use software locally on a PC so as not to be dependent on a internet connection, one that allowed flexibility of design on every page, and one that had a variation in paper and book type/size. Bob Books provided all of that at a acceptable price and a finished article that we are both pleased with. We have in the book, panoramas spread over two pages, or 1.75 pages with other photos added. The ease which I could do this was excellent helped no end. I have no problem in recommending them to anyone who wants to create a photo book. Nigel”

“I first heard of Bob Books on a blog and I am so happy with it! First I love how easy it is to use the application once downloaded to our computer, no need to sort through pictures beforehand the app let's me get into any folder on my computer. Second, I love the quality of the albums. Third I love the customer service. There was an issue with the last album I made (this is my 6th!) but it was resolved quickly and in a satisfactory way. I will definitely continue to use it and to recommend it to all my friends!”

“Got the fold flat book (I think it was the 300g/m2 but I could be wrong). The pictures looked better than I was hoping for (based on 2MB Jpegs) and the book made a very nice Christmas present. Didn't get on well with the online picture arranging, much preferred the downloaded program. Arrived quickly, well packed.”

“I have created about 15 large square classic books over the past few years and continue to be impressed with the quality of production and the ease of use of the software. The books and the posters, of which I have several meter square ones are the envy of my office and so much better value than commercially produced posters and banners. I use BobBooks to capture all aspects of my life with photobooks for family and work activity.”
