“I’ve used other photo book publishers in the past but Bob Books are the best! The software is brilliant - it takes a bit of practice and experimentation to learn all the possibilities, but the results are so professional. Absolutely beautiful.”

“I have been using Bob Books for about ten years now. I like to produce photographic diaries of my travels, and the Bob Books editor gives me complete flexibility to blend text and photos to tell a story. I also produced a photo book of my mother's life, with photos going back to the early 1900s, family trees, wartime documents, and so on. No other photobook company I have tried gives me such flexibility. I have recently used Bob Books for wall art. The quality is excellent, and as with the books, turnround times and customer service are exemplary.”

“Most books have been very good but my book on Mauritius proved to be very disappointing. The first book although the preview was doubly checked showed a picture of a ceiling instead of a room. You reprinted the book again for nothing but again another picture came out completely wrong. I am at present making up another book but have to do a preview at least three times to check MY pictures are correct. Also I have emailed to receive a voucher for £10 and have heard nothing. Must admit I am considering another company after all the years I have dealt with you”

“My album came out so lovely. I didn't realise there was one size up though and would have chosen that size instead bit I will definitely be recording my future memories with bobs books. I also wish there was an app for android and not just iPhone”

“The software is fun to use, the designs good, though it's always nice to think more are being developed, and the service is great. Any queries are answered immediately and the books are quick to arrive. I think Bob Books are great!”

“These days I always use Bob Books to create my photo books and my annual calendars. I have tried other companies but the software is easy to use but know that expert technical help is easily available if I need it. Other photo books just don't give me the flexibility I want when putting my books together I like to create a photo book for all my holidays - so much better than leaving photos on a computer - and it forces me to make the best of the photo's I take. I find the examples of other books really helpful as well as a way of helping me to organise my thoughts and ideas. Bob Books is my 'go to' company for my books - I don't use anything else these days”

“Great quality product(s) that mean I have treasured memories in 'hard copy' rather than sat on a computer.”

“I have to say... the end result was second to none. The journey to that result wasn't so great. I chose not to download the Bob Books Designer software and went with a freeform layout in InDesign, outputting high-res PDFs, importing those into P.Shop and outputting full page JPEGs for eventual upload to BBs. That was easy enough, if not a little time consuming. Uploading the images was simple enough, though I found it best to upload and place one at a time to be assured of getting the right JPEG on the right page. The cover was the trickiest, as I had to consider the spine (I chose a 300mm square hardback book) but I got there eventually. All done, I hit the order button. It's really from there that things could be much improved. There's no indication as to when the finished product will arrive - a delivery estimate would, at the very least, be nice. Anyhoo... Eventually the book arrived and as I mentioned at the beginning - the finished quality was second to none. It was a book of memories from a 50th wedding anniversary and the end client was blown away on receipt. If Bob can just improve on communication once ordered, then I'd be upping my 4 stars to 5.”

“I choose the simple one, but it was enough for my needs, a good print and also a good binding I repeat with no doubt, I ordered it from Spain and it was so fast.”

“"I always love the photo books we get with Bob Books. The photographic paper is luxuriously thick and the colours are bright. (Didn\u2019t like the matte paper one time). Highly recommend."”

“I ordered a large landscape photo book for our wedding pictures. The quality is stunning! The pictures which spread across 2 pages look wonderful. Thank you for making such a wonderful job of this. My only slight problem is I needed a box for this and unless I downloaded the software, then this option is not available. Neither is the duplication of the virtual book online without the software.”

“I was delighted with how my photo book looked - especially as it was a gift! Very easy to use software and much more flexible than other photo book producers I have previously used.”

“The finished book was excellent - it looked professionally made, which exceeded my expectations. I did, however, find the website really hard to use. I downloaded all my photos in chronological order, but they all got mixed up in the download so I had to keep referring to the original folder and then scan through all 50-odd photos to find each one. I also found the formatting process quite time-consuming and not very user-friendly. That's partly why I was so surprised at how well it turned out!”
