Photo books

Like most people most of my photos are now stored on the computer and I am wanting to put together some photo books.

If anyone has any experience of this can you please tell me which company you use.

I am not looking neccessarily for the cheapest but a company that is easy to use and has good features and also produces excellent results.

As a bit of a technophobe, how easy is it really?

I used photobox.co.uk when I want prints of my shots. I've only tried normal photographs from them so I'm not sure about their other services but I've been quite impressed.

I was once given one that had come from Bob Books. (Bobooks?). Nice quality, good binding.

We have been lucky enough to have several very nice holidays this year including a safari so I was hoping to do several books.

I want one that does captions/borders edges etc.

Snapfish and Photobox are both good - easy to use, choice of designs, font, etc, and very reasonable, plus they always have offers on. I've used both for photobooks and was really pleased with the quality.

Without question, this is one of the best deals possible and from a reputable company. Bonusprint have been around for donkey's years.

In short, you pay £19 for a voucher (code) that you input at the point you come to pay for your photo book and you can get a book worth up to £100 for the £19. I pad a little extra on top to get a nice front and back cover image and fold flat pages so I could see all of the picture.

The quality is superb. I can't rave about it enough. Take a little time with all your best photos to fill up to 100 pages. The more you use, the more you save overall.

So four years on from my original post and I still haven’t done any photo books.

But I’m really determined to get on to it very soon.

Does anyone have any updates on who they use or are snapfish and bonusprint still the ones to go for?

I've recently used Tesco photo to do two copy albums of Boo (the staffie we've recently lost) and the quality is really good if a little expensive.

The problem I had was that I had so many photos I kept adding pages at 75p a go. In hindsight it was worth the extra money for this one off "special" as it went progressively through Boo's life.

If you only want 20 or so pages then Tesco is a reasonable price and good quality.

Much like sunglasses

They're almost all printed in the same place
