From the time we receive your photographs, it normally takes around 4 weeks. That includes design and layout, proofing, revisions, approvals, printing and binding.
If you are submitting your own book layout it takes about 3 weeks.
If you want to create a unique book like no other – you’ve come to the right place. At PhotoBook Press we are limited only by your imagination – and a couple of technical details. Custom layouts, custom endpapers, exotic binding materials. If you can imagine it, we can produce it.
Our best ideas come from our customers – so let us know how you would really like your book to look.
The highest standards of print quality and archival integrity of papers is present in both hard and soft cover books from PhotoBook Press.
If you want your book to feel substantial, open flat and last forever, a sewn book is the only choice. Sewn books are are almost always hard cover and smyth sewn in 12 page signatures from 36 pages up to 300 pages, or more. They will always open flat, they will never come apart and the images will be as beautiful many years from now as they are today.
A glued book is the most common binding among photo books. Often called “perfect binding” it is usually a paperback but could be available with a hard cover (with a glued spine). This is the only choice if your book has fewer than 36 pages (sides), or a good choice if you might update the book some time in the future and reprint it, or if you want more economical copies of hard cover books. Soft cover books come in a wide variety of sizes and in page counts up to 240 pages.
“Seeing the finished book really exceeded my expectations. I was blown away by the quality of the reproduction; the images seemed to float over the page. I showed it to a couple of my friends and colleagues, who were equally impressed, before shipping it off to London. Thank you and your team for doing such a wonderful job.”
