I was able to upload a pdf of my file and received my photo book. An 11 x 8.5 flat lay book. It is fantastic, picture came out beautifully, clear crisp. Very nice paper. I was over the moon with joy. I have never used any service like this so was very pleased with the outcome. I am now planning on making many more.

Excellent product. Affordable and easy to create a single book. Shipping time is as described. However, I ordered two copies of a single book. One book contained what appears to be ink smudges. Hoping to reach out to customer service and get this resolved.

Overall, I'm satisfied with my creation. Few options exist to create single landscape-oriented books. Prices were affordable and creating the book online was user friendly. However, I ordered two copies of my book and one contains what appears to be ink smudges. I have attached a photo of comparison. Hoping to reach out to customer service to rectify this issue.

I did not want to use an automated system to create a photo book. I am a professional designer and wanted total control over my layout, so I loved being able to upload my own pre-designed PDF, rather than relying on browser tools, like other services. Price point was perfectly reasonable and the quality of the final product was excellent. I'll definitely use Presto Photo again!

I was struck by how parallel Starkey G. Hoot's autobiography was to my own, which I wrote last year, but have not sought to have reproduced. Starkey and I both tended to write our stories as much in regard to cars and houses we have owned as the more typical focus of people we've known and life experiences. Given that we were both industrial designers and peppered our life stories with images of cars and houses, I am glad that Starkey chose this very graphic and visually intriguing path to portray his life. I might choose to do the same!

This book was written by a long-time friend and co-worker. It was his life story and I was not aware that it had been written until I attended his memorial service - he passed away at age 100+.

The book is great, but the service was mediocre. The staff were very helpful in getting the book designed nicely, however a shipping label was created but the book got lost, then it took another week to reprint it and it ended up getting sent the day I needed to receive it. It then arrive 2 weeks later.

The customer service during the creative process was amazing. The follow-through on print and delivery was horrible. The shipping label was created before the book was ready, then the book "got lost" so they had to reprint, which took longer the second time. The book finally actually left the warehouse the day that I had needed to receive it and took 2 weeks to arrive despite us paying for the most expensive shipping method.

Used PrestoPhoto to turn a powerpoint slide deck of images and 'congratulations' messages, into a hardcopy book to present as a retirement gift. Excellent product altogether, high quality construction and function in a hardcopy lay-flat option, great price, easy layout process via Presto's website, and impeccable customer service to ensure it turned out perfect. And the delivery time was ahead of schedule.

recommended by colleague as best way to convert slides to high quality book

We LOVE the book that I made and sent as a present. The only hang up I have with it is that it doesn’t lie flat like it should. The cover is warped.

Presto Photo is the best of all the 5 sites I've used. Consistent quality, wide range of flexible design options, and predictable delivery ... that's why I'm a long-term customer and very satisfied.

This layflat hinged photo book by Prestophoto came out great! I picked Prestophoto because they offered the most affordable yet high-quality layflat hardcover print-on-demand option for an 11x8.5" book I was able to find after a ton of research. When it came, I was thrilled with the results. This book cost about 50% of what a 'true' layflat book would typically cost, the only difference being that there is a slight black line at the very middle of the book which wouldn't be visible with the non-hinged version. With my project, this was not an issue whatsoever. For context, I created my book with Indesign, output via PDF, and uploaded. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

* The books this time came poorly packed in a soft cardboard box, which was bigger than the actual books thus allowing them to move around in transit. There was no additional padding or packing and one of copies has a bent corner on the protective black cover page. * There is a small mark on the first page which looks like an ink splash. * The production somehow seems to lack the finesse of my first purchase with colours seeming less vibrant and overall a little darker. In summary this is little disappointing as I was very happy with my original purchase and I ordered two more based on the quality of the first book. Also, the cost for the 2 books with postage was NZ$500 made for quite an expensive purchase. While I think the lay-Flat option and paper quality are excellent, I am not sure I will be using the platform for my next book.

Based on my initial purchase of the same book (bit this time with just a few additional pages. I was very happy with the first book, but am a little disappointed with the two copies I subsequently purchased.
10/21/2021 - Orewa
The order arrived poorly packaged in a soft cardboard box which was bigger than the two books, allowing them to move in transit. The books were not wrapped in any sort of protective padding, which meant one of the books arrived with a bent inner protective front page. The same book has an ink spot on the front page, and overall the colour and clarity appear less vibrant than the exact same book I ordered originally. That book was an excellent production and I was delighted with it. I am however a fan of the lay flat option, which is perfect for a 200 page book and the paper quality is also great. These two books cost $NZ500 in total (including shipping) so were an expensive purchase. The overall impression was that the two additional copies (which did have a few extra pages) were hastily produced and dispatched. This means I will have to think carefully about using the platform for my next book.
Corinne B - 10/18/2021
I really am happy with the overall look of my book. The paper, the paper weight and the colours of photos really turned out nicely. Very pleased. Disappointed that there was an error in my book leaving one page blank in the middle. I went back to look at the original and it isn't there so not sure why this would have happened. I also expected a jacket on it as I had written some details of the book in the front and back folds. When the books arrived there was no sleeve/jacket.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
