Beautiful photobook
by: Anonymous

I've made photobooks with Smilebooks, MyCanvas, Blurb, and Shutterfly (and was given one from Photoworks) and the Smilebook has the best overall quality of any of them.

The Smilebooks, MyCanvas, and Blurb photobooks were all made using the same professional photographs. Smilebooks had much crisper, higher quality images than the Blurb book (MyCanvas was about on par with Smilebooks). The paper (not the upgraded real photo paper now offered) was much thicker than that of any of the other companies and it had a beautiful finish to it. The actual cover and binding were very well done, linen with a photo on the front.

My only complaints were that the photo on the front was a sticker and the corners began peeling up a bit. Also on 2-3 of the photos the colors seem to be slightly off, but this is only noticeable if you compare directly to a copy you know to be correct.

Despite these minor issues, I greatly prefer the Smilebook to any of the other companies.

Disappointed in Smilebooks photo paper, order of pages was wrong
by: Anonymous

I was also disappointed in the quality of the photo paper. In addition, I had two pages out of order from how I sent it in and they didn't understand the error and refused to address the problem. Not planning to use this company again. It's ok - but no where near the hype I had read or worth the money for the photo paper. It's also very slow to get in touch with someone to address printing issues, etc.

Dissapointed with SmileBooks "Photo" Paper Books
by: Peter

I ordered a book printed on what they call "photo" paper(more expensive and it turned out to be just a heavy glossy card stock - yet the quality was subpar - skin tones extremely yellow - even some ghosting on the edges - worst photobook I've ever had printed!

I'm glad I chose to make my last photo book with Smilebooks, with the quality of my new photo book it was well worth it.
