“I am using Bob Books since many years and we have so far published 9 books - most of them large volumes. The software has improved tremendously over the years and we it is very easy to use. The published books are of very high quality and colours have never disappointed us. The paper quality, binding and covers are holding well - and we look at the books very often! Friends have commented on our books as being "museum quality". Delivery is quick even before Christmas and you can always rely on a quick response if you need advice during the editing process. If you want high quality photo books, do not hesitate to use Bob Books - this is value for money. My wish list for future software updates: improvements on integrating text with the images”

“I'm a graphic designer so spent a lot of time researching alternatives before deciding on Bobs Books. I liked the variety of products and being able to order a sample of the paper was right up my street. I used the iPad app and found it really easy to use. My only quibble would be that I found I had to alter my layout to fit the templates as they only worked in double page spreads. There was a couple of occasions where another 'right hand page' would have worked better. However, this could have been avoided if I'd chosen to design using one of the other formats so I know I am being really picky. I am over the moon with the finished product - it's professional looking, high quality and the print quality is superb. It arrived quickly and the service was great. I will definitely be using Bobs Books again and have recommended them to all my friends, including those in the design industry. Thank You!”

“I have used other photobook producers and have generally been happy with them, however having used Bobs books now for a couple of books I have to say I much prefer them. I used 'Bob designer' to create the books which I found straightforward to use and reasonably flexible in terms of the effects / backgrounds etc it provides. The main advantages for Bob's books in my mind are: 1. The amazing binding which allows double page spreads to be used with no obvious 'crease' down the centre. 2. The quality of the finished book (mine was lustre photographic hardback) was outstanding. 3. The purchasing and delivery process went without a hitch and the books came well packaged / protected. Altogether I intend to use Bob Books in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.”

“Bob books offers a great service! I've printed 2 albums with them and the result is outstanding. The paper is great (gloss coated), the editor to create the album is great, easy to use and it leaves to you many choices! I gave a 9 and not a 10 because the editor cannot zoom OUT the pictures, and you should resize them by yourself that is a waste of time and the shipping is very slow. For all the other things Bob Books is great! I'm just making another album with them.”

“I'm a professional freelance photographer and was very pleased to find Bob Books. I can now provide a quality photo book to my wedding couples as part of a package :)”

“I have used a variety of photo book printing services over the years, and have now reached the firm conclusion that Bob Books offers the best balance of quality and cost. Colour reproduction is spot on from a properly calibrated monitor, delivering crisp and vibrant results. The lay flat spine and thick pages provide a quality feel comparable with a number of more expensive suppliers. The downloadable book editor is easy to use and regularly updated to improve the user experience. I particularly like the ability to save the layout of a page, and apply it to subsequent pages. The only thing they don't do is larger format books, but otherwise a great service.”

“Having been a "customer" for some years now, ( 8 books ), every time I submit a new book I notice new piecies of software have been added. Any questions are answered immediately on the telephone, and using their software is easy, flexible, and exciting. Roll on my next book, what added / improvements are on the way? Thanks Bob ( who ever you are ) and the team! Barry Sims”

“My friend had just had a very premature baby and was keeping us all updated with photos and information via Whatsapp. It was an amazing record of Belles's first few months so I wanted to make a permanent hard copy of it. There was a lot of text to incorporate within it as I wanted to include all the positive comments sent by friends. A photographer friend suggested I tried Bob Books and I'm so glad he did! It took quite a while to put together, but the software is really easy to use and there are so many options I was spoilt for choice. When I gave it to my friend she was completely overwhelmed! It was absolutely amazing...much better than I had hoped and the quality was outstanding. The only negative was that it didn't come in a protective box which I thought it would have considering the amount it had cost, so I made a padded sleeve to keep it safe in. I will definitely use them again.”

“I evaluated a number of different self-publish websites before I picked Bob Books. I picked Bob Books because their software was the most flexible and the easiest to use, and I loved the variety of formats offered, including very big books. Ordering and transmitting my book for publishing was an absolutely seamless, simple process, and it arrived from England in about two weeks in perfect condition and it looks, as the English would say, absolutely smashing! I am ecstatic with my Bob Books experience and will be making more books with them.”

“Software downloaded no problem, application intuitive to use, upload no problem, book delivered in less than a week at busy time just before Christmas, finished product delighted recipient. For future developments would like facility to rotate images by small amount (e.g. to level horizon) and de-skew images so that true horizontals and verticals are restored in photos take at awkward angles.”
