“Excellent software giving complete control over layout. Particularly like the ability to spread images across two sheets in the lay flat options.”

“I was told about Bob Books by a friend who is a professional photographer . He said that Bob Books was the best site, from which to obtain , high quality results for the reproduction of my art work. At first I was a little hesitant about sending valuable images online to a firm that I had not dealt with on a one to one basis. However there was no problem of this kind. I found it quick and easy to download the software and after a little bit of instruction from my photographer friend, easy to use ,apart from a few teething problems with placing type on the spine of my hardback book. The online advice I received from their staff was speedy and clear and helpful. As my book has a seventy two pages ,with a great many images in it, I took a considerable time to design each page . I was concerned that there would be a time limit on how long I could take to complete the book ,however there didn't appear to be a limit on that and the incomplete book could lay on my desktop until I had prepared material for insertion. This was a great blessing to me. Delivery was efficient with no problems. When I opened the package it was well protected from damage. It was exciting to open the package and see the product of the hard work I had put into the book and to handle it as a real object. The quality of the colour and paper was excellent and I felt the enormous potential that Bob Books can give to me as an artist/designer ,for the recording and presentation of examples of my work to potential clients . To sum up I am delighted with the product of Bob Books service and will certainly use them again in the future.”

“Bob Books is just the simplest system to use. I've tried a few different providers now and Bob Books are by far the best quality. I use the desktop software and I just keep my family photo book running all year. Each time we do something I make up another page and add the relevant photos. Makes it easy to stay up-to-date. My sister-in-law is now using Bob Books as well!!”

“Overall I believe that Bob Books offer a great product. My only criticism is that I feel they don't give detailed layout options for cover page edges and spines. This oversight results in cover work often being poorly aligned and the entire intended images not visible. It is apparent that the page quantity is a factor in this problem as the wraparound alignment changes depending on how thick the book is. I feel that more attention to detail and a higher level of inspection prior to and after printing at the Bob Books factory should remedy this. Another option would be to give the customer a more specific image grid and maintain the position of the customers work. Bob Books are expensive but high quality and so I wish this issue could be resolved. For this kind of high end purchase it should be perfect. It is very close to being perfect but close just isn't good enough in or on my book.”

“I have used Bob Books over twenty times. The quality of the books is second to none, every bit as good as a book off a shelf in a shop. With a little bit of practise it is easy to be inventive with your presentation style and create some fantastic memories. Whenever i have had some slight problems, inevitable over the years, i have always found the staff increadibly helpful. I would only give one piece of advice - prints can come out a little darker onthe page than they appear on the screen. It is a good idea to very slightly overcompensate on the brigtness of your pictures. Meanwhile i would not risk any other company.”

“I've recently produced two books. I thought I'd try a softback and it was even better than I'd anticipated. The hardback, wedding book was absolutely brilliant. I've now started a long holiday book although the thinking is slowing me down.”

“Excellent printing. Excellent quality. I was honestly impressed and family were so happy with the product when it arrived that we ordered two more. I am now planning to use Bobs Books again for my own book of photographs.”

“Bob Books offer wonderful service and quality. I have been using their software for years and with each update things only improve. On my most recent order I did have a printing fault (a smudge on the page). I emailed Bob Books to let them know that this had happened - only as a courtesy really - and they printed my book again free of charge. I highly recommend them.”

“I have always used the book company linked with lighroom but since using Bob books I would not go back as the final result of printing is so much better. There is a selection of interesting papers, sizes of books and it is easy to use the package for making the books. It is more expensive to choose the Hardback lay flat book style but makes a beautiful coffee table book and great for panoramic photos”

“The software is exactly the same as the Crewe software I have previously used with another photobook provider. That said it is easy to use and the results are very pleasing. I used Bob Books to wedding albums and the bride and groom were delighted with the quality.”

“although a little pricie compared to other alternatives, the quality is way better. I cannot find the flat seem that I used in the past and worked well (two pages are flat when hardcover book is open)”

“I have made numerous Bob albums, nearly always either 30cm square or the A4 portrait format. The most recent, however, was a small album of postcard-sized images, as a gift for someone. As usual, the printing was exactly as I expected, and the overall quality was great. I currently have at least five more albums in the pipeline. I have never been disappointed and don't expect to be!”
