Photo books
If you are new to making photo books, getting your head around the various options can be a little daunting. To get started we recommend you take a look at our Products and Pricing page for information on our sizes, paper types, cover types and number of pages.
Our price calculator shows you the cost of your chosen book format, and the available methods to create your book. You'll also find more details on our delivery costs and turnaround times.
If you'd like a bit of advice regarding which of our book formats, or creation tools might be the best fit for you, please feel free to get in touch. We are here from 9 am-10pm every day.

You can create your own Bob Book using our range of free creation tools. Find the one which best suits you.
Bob Designer software - Our Desktop Software is free to download and offers the most flexibility and creativity in designing photo books, calendars, wall art and cards.
Online Book Creator - Design your book online and you can access it from any computer. Quick and easy to use. Please note that this does require good internet connection.
Bob Book App - Our iOS App allows you to create a photo book on the go, straight from your iPhone or iPad.

Paper Swatch packs
Need some help choosing your book paper type? Our paper swatch packs contain one colour and one black & white print on each of our paper types, to help you decide which finish would best suit your project.
The pack costs £5 including delivery and you also receive £10 worth of Bob Rewards points in your account.
Presentation Boxes
When you order through the Bob Designer software, you can order presentation boxes along with your photo books. The boxes are available for all book sizes except small landscape and square. The presentation boxes are made of 2mm thick board covered with black linen fabric. They have a dual magnet closure and a red ribbon open tab.

Bob Rewards
At Bob Books we like to reward loyalty. You'll earn 4 points for each £1 spent, and each point is worth 1 pence. When you've collected enough points, you can redeem them for money off vouchers to use on your future orders.
You can also earn points through our Refer a Friend scheme. Your friend will receive a 20% discount to use on their order and you will receive 750 points in your account.
Bob Bookshop
Once you have placed your order you will be invited to publish your book in our Bookshop. This means your book will be saved on our server and you can access it from your account. You can choose to publish your book publicly, so members of the public can view it in our online Bookshop, or privately so it is only visible from your account - although you can still share it with your friends and family. You can set your book for sale, so people can buy copies of your book and you can even choose to earn from your book sales.
