My first time creating a photo album…

My first time creating a photo album like this. I was surprised how many hours it took. Definitely a weekend job. Sent off my photo choices and layout, and the books arrived 10 days later, all the way from Sweden. (I assume) Absolutely loved the results. Good colour production. I might think about a lay flat book next time. Also, had to go back and re-jig several pages to fit in more photos, otherwise the cost starts to balloon. I'd happily recommend this service to friends.

Easiest bookmaker to use!!

Super easy to use right on your phone. The templates made the pages easy to rearrange and complete. The book its self was absolutely beautiful quality!! Will definitely use again.

A friend recommended you and so I decided to support an Australian Company instead.
I am happy with my book
The only issue was there were a few photos with heads cut off in the book

These photos weren’t like that when I sent them in
I do like the layout of the photos

the story pages were very well done but the restricting rules about the front and back covers spoiled the look of the book. Because there was no person to help with problems and questions before ordering the book, the problems were unsolvable.

Hi June,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you were happy with the story pages, and we’re sorry the cover options didn’t quite give you the result you had hoped for.
We’re always happy to help with questions while you’re creating your book, and we only wish we’d had the chance to guide you before the order was placed, while there was still time to make changes.
We really appreciate your feedback and hope it helps us make the experience clearer along the way. 💛

The book came out GORGEOUS

The book came out GORGEOUS! I made a book for my 2 year old with just pictures of her for the first 2 years of her life before she became a big sister. The book looks so official, durable and hopefully she will have it for the rest of her life.

Use the letter box...

I was haopy with everything apart from nzc left the parcel not in my letter box (its huge it would have gone in there) but at the front door under no cover, we dont use the front door so it got wet over night. So for the money it was a bit disappointing to ve let down by that, the book otherwise looked fabulous but a shame it got wet and the pages are all strange and wrinkled a bit.
