“The production quality of the book was excellent. With good photo reproduction, but the online tool for previewing the document before printing was very unclear so proof-reading before printing was difficult, leading to some grammatical and type-setting errors”

Hello Mary, Thank you for your review and feedback, I will pass this onto my developing team when we are updating our creation methods. Please let us know if you need anything else on info@bobboooks.co.uk Kind Regards, Shannon @ Bob Books

“I ordered several 'landscape' format calendars as gifts using my own photos, one for each month. The colour reproduction was good, service was helpful and recipients were pleased. There were two limitations: first, framing was inconsistent, so that a small part of the original image was in some cases lost at the top or bottom; second, the matte version in some cases would not lay flat when hung on the wall but warped to a slightly concave shape. Note, these scores are for calendars. They would higher for photo-books (probably 4 or 5 * and 9 or 10 recommendation.”

“This was my first experience making a photo book through an on-line service. Overall I was pleased to see my photos displayed exactly as I intended them to be. But my impression was that the photos were a little darker than expected. Because of lock-down I was unable to show the book to my family, but the few that have seen it agreed with me that the prints could have been a little brighter. Otherwise, as I said, the quality of the book was very good.”

“I have had many books from Bob Books and most of them have been excellent. However my recent book, 'Eating on the Equator' has caused a big problem which I ave raised with you already. I asked to have the book published and you then displayed it in your bookshop. Fine so far, but the display shows the book cover without the title, which is useless. Who is going to buy a book without a title? Please contact me about this and find a solution.”

Hello David, thank you for your review. If you would please email us over at askbob@bobbooks.co.uk so we can further investigate this issue for you. Kind Regards, Bob Books

“I've had 12 or so books and a number of calendars printed by Bob Books and have been pleased with the results up until the last two books which were disappointing. Quite a few pictures were too dark. My monitor and set up is unchanged so appears to me to be a change on the Bob books side. I will continue to use Bob for now if I can correct by uploading re-edited images but it has put me off buying the more expensive finishes in case I have to reprint again.”

“Quality of book and delivery excellent. However the app itself crashed several times. Once I had to start again, wasted whole day.”

Posted 3 years ago

Stay safe and well. Kind Regards, Bob Books

“The editing software is really good and easy to use, it helped me get the book exactly how I wanted it. Also, when I had a query for customer services, they got back to me pretty quickly. However, I found the printing a bit dull, especially given the price of the product. I might try gloss next time and see how we get on with that.”

“I made this book in the USA to send to the UK I've heard the quality is very good, which is a relief as I hadn't seen it”

“I was very disappointed with the first books received. However l found the customers service excellent and this was correctly immediately and l was satisfied with the second copy. I never received a reply to my final email.”

Hello Sue, I apologies for your troubles with your first photo book, however I am glad you have sorted this out and were able to get a corrected copy of your book. As for not getting back to your email, I believe this was not intentional and was an issue with our account. We do apologies again for the delaying in getting back to you and hope all your queries have no been answered. Thank you again for your custom and review. Kind Regards, Bob Books

“I have recommended, and will continue to recommend Bob's Books to friends and family - but I was disappointed with the quality of my latest calendar, compared to the beautiful photo books I have ordered in the past. Possibly some of the photos had already had filters applied to them, but many of them have come out with very red faces - which is really disappointing, as I'd hoped to display it.”

Posted 4 years ago

Hello Christine, Thank you so much for passing your recommendation on to your friends and family. We are sorry to hear about your latest calendar, however if you could contact us on askbob@bobbooks.co.uk with more information about your most recent calendar order we will do our best to advise you on how we can resolve this issue for you. Kind Regards, Bob Books

“When you're paying with a giftcard you don't get any of the discounts that everyone else gets! The manner in which you pay absolutely should not affect the price!! I'm sure that's illegal! However, the quality of the product was good. Overpriced, but good.”

“Hi, books are beautiful and I will definitely be ordering more. Great value too! However I’m really disappointed with the gold embossed text I paid extra for on the front cover. It’s rubbing off. The books I got are just samples for me to keep but I would like to know how to avoid this happening?... I think if it was for a bride and groom I might get a complaint! Can send a photo if necessary. Thanks Suzanne”

Posted 4 years ago

Dear Suzanne, Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we’re so pleased that you like our books. I’m very sorry that the gold highlight on your cover is rubbing off, that is certainly not what it’s meant to do. I have checked with our customer care team and unfortunately they have not receive any communication from you regarding this problem. We’d be happy to provide you with a reprint for your book if you would please get in touch with us at askbob@bobbooks.co.uk with all the details. Kind Regards, Bob Books

“Pictures produced in the calendar were not a true representation of the images I uploaded, to many colour casts & I do have my screen profiled. Seems to me that the printers are not profiled often enough?”

Posted 4 years ago

Hello Chris, We are sorry to hear that the quality of your calendar was not how you would've like to receive. I did get in touch with our customer care team about your calendar and it seems that you didn't contact us. If you would like to speak to us further about your order and what we can do for you please use askbob@bobbooks.co.uk Kind Regards, Bob Books

“Quality of the paper and binding are very good. But the print quality of the photos leaves to be desired with a slight purplish tinge in all the photos”

Posted 4 years ago

I have looked into your order with our customer care team and unfortunately it looks like you didn't get in touch with us about the print quality, if you would like to contact us on askbob@bobbooks.co.uk to speak about what we can do for you regarding your order.

“Over all the process was straight forward and managed to get my book printed in good quality. Although I would like to have seen a PDF proof before my book was printed as on the back page my image didn't quite fit and was left with a yellow/ red edge. A little disappointing but overall please with the result.”

Posted 4 years ago

Hello Claire, We are pleased that you are satisfied with the overall quality of your book. I have checked with our customer care team and unfortunately they have confirmed the yellow/red edge on your cover was present on the design of your book and wasn't a printing error. Unfortunately they said that you have not been in touch with us about this issue, if you have any further questions please do email askbob@bobbooks.co.uk. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind Regards, Bob Books

“The software is easy to use but it gives you warnings about photo quality that are sometimes unwarranted- which I only found out having printed some of the images. They put a barcode on the back, which is unsightly and you have to pay extra for software that won’t include it. I generally like the quality of the books but I think I can get similar quality with less niggles elsewhere.”

Posted 4 years ago

Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to write a customer review. We are very sorry that you were not fully satisfied with the Bob Books experience. We have the warnings about photos in the software so our customers are aware of the quality of their photos and how they will be printed in the book. You can turn that feature off if you would prefer not to have these notifications appear. Unfortunately, all of our books will be printed with the barcode on the back. That is because we print the cover and the content of the books separately and we use the barcode to match up the correct cover to its content. Please note there is no additional charge with any of our softwares and regardless of which method you use to create your book, it will be printed with a barcode. Please do let us know where you think you were charged extra and we’d be happy to look into it. You can contact us at askbob@bobbooks.co.uk Kind Regards, Bob Books

“Difficult to use program when rearranging pages. Helpful prompt customer support. Currently waiting feedback on a mark found in the book. Happy with overall quality”

Posted 4 years ago

Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. You should be able to move pages around in the software quite simply but if you require additional support, please do refer to our Help section (where we also have help videos) or do get in touch with our customer care team. We have received your query about the mark on the book. Our team is looking into it and should get back to you soon. Kind Regards, Bob Books

“The new software is fairly good. I missed some of the auroalligning features of the online version.”

“The Software is not the easiest to use but once you get the hang of things it becomes a little easier. I was impressed with the quality of the materials, the standard of ptinting is excellent. I will definitely be using Bob's Books again. Dave Biggs Freelance Photographer www.biggsphotography.co.uk”
