I have now made four photo books using the online programme of Bob Books. It took me a little time to understand exactly what I could and couldn't do, but then really enjoyed the creative side of producing my own photo album. The quality of the actual printed book is very good. Would recommend.

I was furious when Apple stopped supporting their aperture app for editing and making photo books. Hence I discovered Bob's Books. The quality of the books I have published through them well surpasses Apple. The app is easy, comprehensive and enables you to create exactly what you want. The back up team are terrific. It's a great product.

I ordered several 'landscape' format calendars as gifts using my own photos, one for each month. The colour reproduction was good, service was helpful and recipients were pleased. There were two limitations: first, framing was inconsistent, so that a small part of the original image was in some cases lost at the top or bottom; second, the matte version in some cases would not lay flat when hung on the wall but warped to a slightly concave shape. Note, these scores are for calendars. They would higher for photo-books (probably 4 or 5 * and 9 or 10 recommendation.

I was very pleased with the print quality of scans of old family black and white photos, choosing photographic paper with a lustre finish. Images spreading across the lay flat facility are also looking good so far. I began with good quality scans, so the print quality was important to me. When I needed technical advice, the chat facility offered a quick response that enabled me to progress. I chose to arrange the book myself and found the software intuitive for amateurs with a little experience with graphics.

Great software that works on linux desktops aswell as the usual suspects. But best of all the quality availableof the final product is fantastic (photographic quality heavy paper, hardback, A3, layflat) . Superficially expensive, but you're getting fabulous quality for the money, for a very personal book that will last.

Great interface, loads of customisable backgrounds and graphics, excellent print quality. I make a photobook each year and I'll always use Bob Books. There's cheaper options out there, but if you're looking for quality and variety, you can't beat Bob Books.

Great company, would highly recommend and use again. Their desktop editing feature is unique and really professional, and their customer service through a chat line on their website is fantastic.

I am a regular client, I tried different photo papers and different size photo books and all were of good quality, although I feel the matt paper makes the photos darker. Bob’s design program is easy to use, and so much choice of fonts, backgrounds, and fun decorating images when using the full version. With the app one is limited in choice, but so convenient and user friendly. One can make a very professional looking photo-book. I now tend to go for the most standard paper and album as I find price/quality is the best.

Whilst the standalone software is rather dated now and quite clunky, the end results are excellent. I'm quite happy to continue using Bob Books based on the print quality and format options they provide. Keep it up and I'll keep spending my money with you.

Overall I'm very happy with the whole Bob Books process from design to format choice to production and delivery. The design software takes a bit of getting used to but once familiar, it works fine. So far I've produced small books in soft and hard-covers and the quality of the final product is very good. Recommended.

I have just received my fourth book and as always the quality is excellent. Their customer service team are always quick to respond with any queries I may have. I’m already working on my next book and can’t wait to see the results.

Consistent top quality photo albums, efficiently produced and always arriving on time or before. The Bob Designer software allows me to create pretty much all I want.

I have now had 3 Bob Books. The quality of printing has been excellent each time and the colour match has been superb. Also your speed of delivery is really good. I do not use your bespoke formats but prefer to design my own layouts. The flexibility of your system is very good for this, although I sometimes have difficulty in managing the spacing between images. You may not be very cheap but the quality is worth paying for.

My latest Bob Book "No Boundaries" is a compilation of landscape photographs taken over recent decades in Europe and the USA. As with previous books I chose Bob because of the outstanding print quality which makes my pictures sing. I have also used the lay-flat option recently where I can run a panorama picture across two pages. I also experimented with a very pale grey font for captions and this complemented the colour images perfectly. Thanks Bob.

As always I was very pleased indeed with the quality of printing etc and also the speed of turnaround from when I uploaded my book. Thank you Bob books.

Since March 2020, people in the UK have been under lockdown, on and off, because of the global pandemic. Many people have been complaining of boredom but I have relished the opportunity to carry on editing my personal photography and turning it into slim, elegant volumes, printed by Bob Books. I’ve now have thirteen books of the highest quality, am working on my fourteenth and don’t plan to stop there. The quality of the printing, both colour and monochrome, is very high. The paper (my favourite is the matte finish) is gorgeous to the touch and the binding has been perfect, apart from on one occasion when there was a slight crease in the end papers and Bob Books reprinted immediately without any quibbling. In every respect, the service has been impeccable, with books arriving very promptly after they have been ordered. There was one delay recently, but the issue was effectively and professionally dealt with as soon as I mentioned it to Customer Service. I find the whole process of putting a book together very easy with the user-friendly software. I use the page layout templates, of which there are many, and have always found one that is appropriate for my intentions. It’s very satisfying to have a uniform series of books that I have produced myself. I will definitely be sticking with Bob Books to continue this project and can’t really see it coming to an end as I always have an idea at the back of my mind for the next book .…
