I adore taking photographs especially of the children, and my family. I prefer people shots to scenery but have tried both. My computer is chock full of pictures of days out, holidays and just messing about around the house and in the garden.

I only discovered this site three weeks ago. Having recently returned from a holiday in Australia with loads of memories and over 2500 photos on various cards, I was not looking forward to the prospect of printing them all myself. The thought of the cost of ink and photo paper for that many photos was daunting.

Photobooks are hardback options of up to 50 pages and there are also Stylebooks which come in softback and can include up to 100 pages.

Hardback photobooks have less pages - and therefore photos, but are perfect for more formal occasions, such as weddings.
Stylebooks start at £19.99 but ...

This site is amazing. Right ok you think, how can they give you between 30 to 60 pictures for free when joining and then deliver them to your house the next day. A ludicrous statement some may think. The photos will be crapquality, my printer will do a better job.
WRONG!!!!

A fluke ... ...on my email the next day and saw that i had a voucher for a free A3 poster with them worth 6quid. I bit their hand off and payed the £1.50 postage.

So i would definately reccommend this especially as every thursday, i receive an email offering me a product free including, a photo tshirt, a photo mug and a A3 poster.
