Customer Reviews
Softcover Photo Book
I was extremely pleased with my photo book, the quality of the finished product, the speed at which it was completed and sent back to me. Being able to choose different formats for each page and the flexibility of adding text is excellent. This is the first softcover photo book I have done and the quality of the paper is excellent. My other two photo albums were hardcover and perfect in every detail.
Softcover Photo Book
I have been using Mimeo to make my family calendar for about 3 years now, ever since Apple stopped offering the service. I find the program easy to use and the end product is always looks professionally and exceeds my expectations. When I created a photo album for my son and daughter in law, I asked for assistance to turn the one I made for them into a less expensive soft cover book. I was given step by step directions and right away. Plus I was given additional pointers to help me make these changes without loosing my original album.
Softcover Photo Book
I have done a number of hard cover and soft cover photo books for family and found that Mimeo is a wonderful way to put together memories that are lasting in print form. I used to use film in my early years so I always had hard copies of pictures. I still like the idea of that so everything isn’t just hidden away digitally. Easy to use this application and the pictures turn out looking great!!
