“I chose Bob Books because I was looking for an excellent quality photobook. Yes, they are expensive, but worth the money imo. I also really like the ease of use of their online system and range of artwork options for backgrounds etc.”

“I love working with the Bob Books programme, I find the layout options very intuitive and love that I have full control of the layout in terms of photo placement, overlapping, backgrounds, borders, text, etc. I hate working with programmes that only give you set templates. The printing on photographic paper always turns out well.”

“My only concern is that the printing is generally very heavy. In one instance, I did complain and it was reprinted, but I do not like to complain every time. Blacks are very heavy and solid, and images tend to be printed darker. I now lighten images specially for the books, but it doesn't totally resolve it”

Dear Roy, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I have checked with our customer care team and unfortunately we were unable to check whether the Automated Image Correction was turned on or off during the creation of your book, which may have caused your images to come out darker than anticipated. We can offer you recommendations on calibrating your monitor, if you would like to do this before your next book. This should give you a more realistic preview of how the images will appear in print. Kind Regards, Bob Books

“This was the first time I have used BobBooks. It was recommended by a friend. For years I have used Photos on my iMac to create my photo books. I loved using this software so the change was a bit of a learning curve. My first book was very good, the format slightly smaller but well finished and the photo quality was very good. I like that you can drag and drop in a photo from other files on my PC. The editing options are good. I would have liked to be able to shift single pages into different places rather that a double page. (Or maybe one can but I have discovered how yet!) I also enjoyed using the font options. I would like to see more 'handwriting' fonts to chose from however. So overall an enjoyable experience and very good outcomes. I will be back!”

“I found it Incredibly easy to create a stunning layout using the desktop book creation tool. Most importantly the book is finished to a very high quality (I went for the 300gms lustre paper, lay flat). Having tried a few of the other photobook services out there I will definitely be using Bob Books for my next book.”

“I love Bob Books but this time I was completely disappointed. I ordered my books to Switzerland. The print was made in Germany so instead to send directly to Switzerland first was sent to London and then to the final destination. This took to much time and still one book hasn't arrived! No tracking number so we could not check where are the parcels.”

Dear Krzysztof, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I am sorry that you have not receive one of your orders please contact customer care with the details as they haven’t been informed of this so we can arrange a reprint if needed. You can get in touch with our customer care at askbob@bobbooks.co.uk or call them directly at 0203 011 1644. Our international orders are charged at the same rate of shipping as our domestic orders, however, as you can understand our costs are actually much higher. To ship with a tracked service internationally rates are significantly higher, possibly costing more to ship than the price of the book itself.

“This is the third photo book I have ordered from Bob Books. Once again I can not fault the service and quality that the company offer. The software to make the books is easy to use with loads of scope to make a really interesting and different book. Once ordered, I was kept up to date with progress and when the final book dropped through the door I was thrilled with the final result. Thank you Bob Books”
