How many pages and/or photos can I have in my photo book?

Photo Books: Hardcover and paperback photo books have a minimum of 20 pages, and a maximum of 150. Additional pages beyond the standard 20 are sold in sets of two for £1.99 per set for Classic, Story and Signature books and 99p for Everyday books. Photo book pages can be single or double-sided - for example, a 20-page, single-side book contains photos on 10 pages, while a 20-page, double-sided book contains 20 pages of photos. (There is no additional charge for double-side pages.) Mini Books: Mini Books have 24 pages, double-sided. Pages can't be added to or removed from mini books, and all photos are full-page.

Can I use both landscape and portrait photos in a photo book?
Photo Books are designed in a landscape format, but they can accommodate both types of photos. Different layouts are offered to accommodate a variety of photos.

Landscape-oriented photos are best for Mini Books, since each photo takes up an entire page.

How long do photo book orders take?
Once you place your order, we'll process and post it out within 3-5 business days. All photo books are sent by first class mail so please allow 1-3 days for delivery from dispatch.

Can you deliver a photo book directly to a friend?
Yes -- your photo book order can be mailed to any address in the UK. In addition, the packing slip included with a photo book order does not have prices on it. Please note that all the items in your shopping cart must ship to the same address. For instance, we cannot ship photo books to one address, and your prints to another. If you need to order some items for yourself, and some for a friend, you'll need to place two separate orders.

What is the return/refund policy for photo books?
Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are dissatisfied with your photo book order, we will provide you with a replacement or a full refund as soon as you have returned your book to us.
