This book was printed on Blurb.
The book was very well packaged, maybe too well packaged as i really struggled to get it out. I noticed that because it had no bubble wrap around it, on the back cover at the bottom it had accumulated a few dents from the tight packaging or shipping... i wasn't too pleased with it!
This is the colour trade book, and it's a fantastic size, fitting nicely in the palm of your hand. The cover is nice and the print quality on it is very good! Though careful if you print black on just white, ensure the image is 100% cleaned cos you will see every little mark.
The print quality is flawless, and looks great on the uncoated paper. The only problem though with the uncoated paper is that it is slightly see through. So if you don't have full images on the page in full colour, you can see through onto what is on the next page.
Because of this, for my final story book which i've decided to do, i will opt for a photo book and the better quality paper!
This is still a great book, and i love the way it feels.
It's simple, cheap but professional.
This book would have originally costed me around £21, however because i had a discount code it came to approx £6 - i cannot moan at that price!
I would not have bought this book for £21, mainly due to the dents in the back, the slight bit of glue on the end papers and the see through paper which takes away from its flawless finish; i would probably pay between £10 to £12 for this book - and the £4.99 postage on top is value for money (delivered by fedex).
However i am very pleased with it as its purpose was just as a reference book for myself for when i write stories.
It is somewhat fulfilling having my work printed professionally and seeing it in print for the first time!
Thanks for reading.
