 Great product! September 14, 2007
Deborah G (Murrieta, CA United States)
I loved this product. For an amateur computer user and photographer I was able to follow the instructions and completed my very own custom book. The results were absolutely beautiful and I was very happy with the end product. I didn't use the cover for my book. It was for my husband and I thought the exterior was great just the way it was. I added gold letters from a scrapbook store for the title. I was very pleased and will probably make other books for families and friends. My husband loved it!
 Great Product April 19, 2007
ratroze (New Bern NC USA)
This is a wonderful product for someone who is not into scrapbooking,to me that is a waste of time. This product allows you just add your photos and print, and it has a scrapbook appeal. The only problem that i have found was trying to reprint a book that i made in 8x10 into 5x7 mode and that was only the front cover and i couldnt spend alot of time on figuring out how. This really gives someone who puts their pics on the computer to have the ability to just click and print, but print a whole book. For me wouldnt have my sons first baby book done.
I hope this helps

 Good idea, bad software December 18, 2006
David Crawford (Silver Spring, MD)
I really liked the idea of this product, and they have some good templates, but after putting hours into designing the book and writing up captions, I printed it and the pictures looked HORRIBLE. The software resizes the images automatically to fit the layout, but for some reason leaves the pictures pixelated and fuzzy. I took the pictures with a 6MP camera, and they look great when viewed on the computer or printed with other software, but when this software resized them they came out terrible. And there's really no way around it, except to try to guess the proper resolution for each photo and crop and resize yourself before inserting the photos, but that would take several more hours.
This product wasted hours of my time and left me very disappointed.
 no room for creativity May 22, 2006
SSL (Brooklyn, NY United States)
The idea of this book is great, but there is no room for creativity whatsoever. If a page has space for 11 photos, you have to put in 11 photos. If you like the layout, but only want to put in 9 photos, it won't adjust itself. If you're supposed to put a date somewhere, there is no room for more characters than a date would require, and it is not adjustable. You want to move a photo up a bit, out of luck. I got so frustrated using their software, that I will be doing most of the layout work (except the cover) in Adobe Illustrator, which is obviously more flexible, but will require more of my time. This is for someone who likes to be told how to design their custom-designed book.
 Easy to use, but incredibly limiting May 20, 2006
Bellwether (Sioux Falls, SD United States)
This kit is neat; I have to admit that. It comes with all the materials needed to make a nice little coffee table book. However, the kit itself is a little pricey considering that A) there's only 10 pages, B) the pages are only 5 x 7, and C) the pages are not double-sided. The software included, although as simple and easy-to-use as can be, is so limiting, it doesn't actually feel like you have made this book yourself. Instead, it's as though you're in preschool, bringing in the pictures and having Teacher put it together for you. You can arrange different page setups for different themes as you please, but there is seldom the precise one that you really want. It doesn't help that half of the themes have these cutesy "scrap book" elements that look absolutely ridiculous.
However, the book itself is pretty slick once you make many, many comprimises. The only reason I gave this two stars is for the materials included.
