“Easy to use, excellent results, only good not very good because prices could be less.”

“Tried different websites/softwares but nothing beat Bob Books. I was able to go into detail, the layout is great and I could make the book almost exactly like I imagined it. The quality was also extremely nice, vibrant colours and sharp images. It's a bit on the expensive side but it's worth it in the long run. My only complaint is that I wanted to do a portrait A5 book, because I mostly take pictures in portrait mode and because I use an iPhone so the resolution of the pictures isn't high enough for A4, and I don't particularly like having multiple images pr. page. The limit on the amount of pages kind of bugged me too, but I imagine that it's got something to do with production complications. I also think it'd be great if one was able to make custom templates(don't think that's an option). But besides that, it's really good. Easy to use, great quality, quick delivery.”

“Excellent and flexible way to create a top quality photo book. Easy layout and fast turn-around. Ofcourse the book is only as good as your pictures but if you carefully follow the instructions you will be fine.”

“Very poor and unclear user interface on the website meant I had to call for advice on how to duplicate an online project in order to make adjustments to it. The advice given was wrong and resulted in me being sent two copies of the same book, rather than single copies of two separate books.”

“I like the fact that you can work on your home computer and then essentially upload it when you're ready. This may be a feature I missed, but it would be great if you could add new templates yourself rather than relying on the in built ones. I found I had to make some modifications to get the pages looking how I wanted. I also don't think there are enough templates that make use of the lay flat pages - there should be some which cross the central page boundary as this can look really nice when printed. Unfortunately for me I find that trying to load preview mode causes my computer to crash but overall the program works well and is functional. The finished product was also very good - I was very happy with the quality and finish.”

“I,ve used BOBS Books for a number of years, i,m a part time wedding photographer and i find the flexibility and choices of design very good, they are constantly striving to improve their product, but you never find any nasty surprises that have been made if you haven't used the software for sometime, i'm able to get back up to speed very quickly if i haven't used it for some time . the addition of presentation boxes to there range has been a great addition in my opinion it allows me to present my clients with a professional looking package, it would be great if one day bobs books could offer a parents and wedding book all in one package one day, and maybe allow you to upload an icc profile with your images, has they can sometimes be a little underexposed at time even when your monitor is calibrated, but all the same i have always found the staff at bobs books very helpful and i have never been disappointed with the overall products and I hope to continue to use them for many years to come. Thank you everyone at Bobs Books”

“We used Bob Books to make three photo albums of a holiday in Moldova we shared with friends from Scotland and Tasmania. They were so happy, and so were we. We are now set to make more "memory books" of all the important times we share with family and friends, and not leave pictures on phones and cameras and never look at them again.”

“This book was a trip of a lifetime & captured a lot of beautiful birds in Trinidad & Tobago. The colour reproduction & the flexibility to put the pictures in part or in whole exactly where I wanted made a stunning album. It is such high quality I can't recommend Bob Books highly enough.”

“Plenty of firms offer a photobook service, but I wanted the best, so I spent some time researching before I chose Bob Books. I'm absolutely delighted with the result. Their software is so intuitive, very easy to use and offers endless editing options. The process of putting a photobook together was a real pleasure and the ordering and uploading were very straightforward. What about the result? Within eight days I had the finished product: a landscape format book with stunning colour and crisp images on high quality heavy paper (300gsm). The lay-flat binding option is impressive and does full justice to double-page spreads. The reaction of friends and relatives has also been very positive. I'd rate the value for money as excellent, so much better than separate photos in an album and far more accessible than simply having my images on a hard drive. Suffice to say that I am already planning my next photobook.”

“I like that I can design the book on my own computer and then upload the finished book. The printing of photos is very good. I also like the large number of layouts and backgrounds. I have had several books printed by BOB books and all have been very good.”

“Bob Books are always of a consistently high standard, printed beautifully and packaged well for delivery. My only gripe has been where minor spots of water have caused pages to bond together and then tear the print apart. This has been common in the past as i've met clients in pubs and a drop of water has fallen from a drink; a bit fr”

“The software is pretty easy to use which is the great benefit as far as I am concerned. And it a great way of remembering your holidays. Far better than leaving them stored on the PC. I wish I had started a long time ago.”

“Firstly I have to say is one of the best programmes I have used to create my albums. I love the way that I can download the programme onto my computer and it automatically links to my photographs! Much easier than uploading them onto the internet based programmes that I have used before. The print and quality of the end product is great, and the service so far has been wonderful. What would make this programme and service better (and blow the competitors out of the market) would be some minor adjustments... 1. Add a tool for leading and kerning (line and letter spacing) 2. Make sure that whole “font/typeface families” can be uploaded. You can use your own typefaces but it appears that if you want to use a whole “typeface family” ie: regular, light, bold, bold italic, light italic etc ... that this cannot be achieve - the programme selects one of the variations for you. Apart from this I absolutely love the programme and product and will endeavour to use it for all me albums. But those adjustments would be a massive help.”
