“I was impressed with both the quality of printing and the quickness that the book was delivered to me. Once you are used to how the system works to compile the book it's easy to continue. Perhaps I didn't see it but a brief example/ tutorial would have helped. Overall impressed with the finished product. Thanks”

“I'm from Italy. I could choose different laboratories here, but I prefer Bob Books for the quality of its products. The communications is also very good. The software is pretty simple to use, although I'd like to have some more different size of book. Processing times and shipping are good”

“I followed a recommendation I read on a wonderful UK blog and used Bob Books for my first foray into 'family yearbook' making. The blog author was enthusiastic about the ease of use of the Bob Books software, the creative scope of their various concepts and sizings, and the exceptional quality of the final product. I live in Australia, so the 'one size fits all' postage cost made the prospect completely reasonable. I was so utterly delighted with my first yearbook when it arrived (astonishingly, within 2 weeks of ordering!), that I went ahead immediately and did a second one. I have plans for more. I am now a loyal fan!”

“Software is very easy to use and its great to be able to put the book together offline. The quality of the finished book is excellent - certainly the best quality of all those I've tried to date. Now have at least 6 Bob's books.”

“It was the first time I had done a photo book so I needed some help. Probably the instructions on the website could have been clearer. However when I rang the staff were very helpful and on the third go I arranged my book, added comments in text boxes and worked out how to adapt the pictures. The production of the book was swift and emails kept me informed.”

“I have used Bob Books for many years and have always been pleased with the resulting photo books. The software is easy to use and navigate around. There is a large choice of backgrounds to enhance your photographs and personalise your individual photo book. There is also a good choice on the number of photographs to a page ranging from a 1 photograph as a double page spread to 14 photographs on one page; ideal for a montage. A choice on the quality of paper, along with the type of book ie hardback or softback and even the colour of the book. It is straightforward to add pages, although this can only be in multiples of 8. Recent changes to the software mean that you can see how much the book will cost if you add extra pages and you can now easily swap between the type of book. I have found uploading the photographs and books to the website easy and you are kept informed every step of the way when the photo book is expected to be delivered. Recently I had problems regarding delivery of a photobook and it was rectified straight away with no hassle. All the photobooks I have produced with Bob Books have been fantastic. There maybe be cheaper photo book options about but the quality and personalisation options available from Bob Books along with the ease of use make it difficult for me to try other vendors.”

“Just produced two more large and expensive photobooks. All OK but just beginning to wonder if the quality of photo reproduction (or printing) is as good as it used to be. I've noticed some faces looking over rich in colour (or even reddish) when the original file and the image on screen during production is much more balanced. For premium prices, I am looking for top quality reproduction which was always the case with Bob Books. I'm just beginning to wonder if the speed of product production / delivery is at the expense of quality.”

“I have used other photobook retailers before, and the product from Bob Books is far superior, and I'm thrilled! And although I had some difficulty with the software, and later with the delivery company used, all was resolved with the assistance of the Bob Books team to my complete satisfaction. Many thanks! I look forward to making my next order soon!”

“BobBooks stands out head and shoulders above all the other photobook providers in the market. The quality of the printing and the amount of different paper and size options means that you can produce exactly the type of book you need - whether it's a softback storybook for a young child or a coffee table book to showcase photos from a recent trip, BobBooks always delivers - quite literally!”

“I needed to produce a book for as part of my Final Year Project for the BA in Photographic Art that I've just finished and I had a choice of two companies, I'd used the other company a few times but wanted to see what Bob Books were like so I gave them a quick phonecall and chatted to them about paper quality, types of books and how long they'd take to produce them. After talking to them I decided to create a test book with them so I downloaded their software (very easy to use), put my book together and ordered it. A short time later the book had been printed and was delivered... And what a book it was! The quality of the print is outstanding and the paper/bind is equally as good. Without hesitation I made the final changes to my design/layouts and ordered the final version for the Project. Another fast turnaround and I now have three copies of my finished book which look fantastic and as good as any photography book you'd see in Waterstones! I'm very happy with Bob Books and would happily recommend them to others.”

“A truly beautiful way to store your holiday photos. I was so impressed with the quality of the printing of the photobook, made my photos look almost professional! The Bob Designer was brilliant, so easy to follow and the video tutorials helped for ideas. I will certainly be making more Bobbooks in the future.”

“I am very pleased with the quality of my recent book. There is scope to be creative when making your book and I am not all that familiar with computer jargon so perhaps do not make the best use of all the site has to offer but still manage to get a decent result.”

“The software is relatively easy to use, and it has excellent flexibility to allow the user to select a wide choice of formats. The quality of the finished product and the speed of service is always excellent. I would not use another photobook provider for these reasons.”

“I have produced several photo books using Bob Books over the last few years and the quality of the finished product is superb. The software is easy to use and provides plenty of options to set up books automatically but I prefer to do it all myself by placing the pictures and text where I want them on the page. That is quite easy to do, but does require some time and effort - I have, though, never been anything but delighted with the results. I have looked at other websites for this type of product but have always come back to Bob Books because the software seems to be much more flexible and capable.”
