I was displaying Facebook posts in my book and I needed the font to be large enough for people to easily read. So, I chose the largest book.

The most awesome gift of a lifetime

I made this family photo album for my brother's 72nd birthday. The black and white photos are all about 66 years old, restored and exported to .pdf using Photoshop. I was amazed at the quality of the printed book -- everything was crisp and clear. My brother declared it the most awesome gift I ever gave him! Thanks presto photo for doing such a great job!

Kerri H - 04/04/2022

This is a nice quality paper, with nice lay-flat pages and a hard cover. However, the printing quality was not quite what it has been on my previous orders. The pictures were much darker than I expected.

Product Feedback

Products Choice

I like the lay-flat book for my family photo album

Company Response

Hi Kerri!

Thanks so much for your order and your review! :-)

Images that have heavy shadows or are dark tend to print much darker than you'd expect. Unlike the human eye, printers can not perceive "shadows", but rather reproduce these as the color black, resulting in a loss of detail in images with shadows. Since your background was black this may have caused the pictures to look especially dark compared to your previous orders where the backgrounds were lighter. 

If you have any additional concerns or questions please feel free to reach out at: [email protected] :-)

Have a great day!

Best Photobook Publishing Company By Far

Easy to create a book (bio, auto-bio, scrapbook, etc.) using your own software then convert to PDF file and send to company. They are very conscientious in creating the perfect product you desire.

Disappointed with the second order

Once I got the hang of it , creating this one of a kind family memory book, was easy and very enjoyable! The end result is a fabulous, priceless book! The second order of 3 more books, 2 months later, all I had to do was request 3 more copies... VERY SIMPLE! However the reprints were disappointing .

I ordered 9 books and there were great. One of the books the binding was a bit sketchy so I just added a little bit of super glue to fix. Not a big deal and because of christmas I didn't have time to reorder it.

Company Choice

I compared to lulu side by side, while lulu offered slightly richer black saturation. The layflat design won out. I feel that the books will last longer.

Product Choice

I compared next to LuLu and the lay flat design was a nice feature. Saturation not the same but no one would be able to tell other than me.

Jeffrey L - 11/24/2019

We (MESHArt) are pretty impressed with the final product - a 64 page effort of Fine Art Photographic images - that will be offered for retail sale. We have ordered two shipments to-date We conducted extensive research and evaluation of the various print houses; including Shutterfly, Photobook America, Mixbook, Blurb, Artifacts Uprising, Nations Photo Lab, Mpix, Milkbooks, SAAP & Black River Imaging. Our goal was to create a high-end Fine Art Photobook where the cost per copy was not prohibitively expensive, such that we could have a retail offering at a reasonable price. Black River Imaging was able to produce a book to our exact specifications with superior quality. The book is built to hold up over time. However, the product was twice the cost per copy of Presto Photo. Presto Photo was able to produce a book very close to our specifications with excellent quality. The book is built to hold up over time The cost per copy was 50% of Black River Imaging for a similar configuration. Shutterfly, Snapfish, Mixbook and Photobook America all produce products that are pretty good to okay. The biggest challenge with these print houses are working with them. These are online houses operating on the premise of cookie-cutter solutions, limited support, and highly variable and unpredictable promotional pricing schemes (i.e., 75% off for the next 24 hours).

Company Choice

Need a more cost effective printer that can deliver on price performance. We have six books in print and need to find a reliable print house.

Product Choice

As compromise. We really want an 11 H by 14 Wide Hinged Glossy Paper book with Linen Hard Cover and Glossy Dust Jacket. Our former print house could do it cost effectively - but they were bought out and closed. Our current print house is great on quality but we cannot recoup cost.

Site is about average when compared to competitors in functionality. Book Options are above average when compared to competitors. Chat Help is well above average when compared to competitors. Documentation and creation guidance is well above average when compared to competitors - but needs updating match current functionality. Quality will be judged upon receipt of product.

Good experience.

I did struggle with the software a little bit, but figured it out. (I do have some suggestions on improving it) The online help was very good. After I ordered my book and received it, I found that one page had ballpoint markings on it. I complained to customer service and they were excellent in ordering a new book. The unmarked book arrived and was not damaged. The quality of the book (paper, bindings, pictures etc) is excellent.

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.
