    As many as you like Vikki. You can put anything from one to lots of tiny pics on one page. I've done a mixture and it looks great.

    Mine was 20x15 cms with 20 pages


    A5 is 21x14.8cm, so they are smaller than A5.

    Hope this Helps

    I'm really pleased with mine too although I made quite a few mistakes, same photo in twice and the wrong year on the front page but now I've done it I'm thinking about doing another and starting earlier in the day rather than fiddling about at midnight :)
  • I think I may have got mine to finally go through. Fingers crossed the finished result is okay. I have to say it wasn't the easiest photo book i've made.

    No def not the easiest, I've spent ages trying to get it through to the order stage. Fingers crossed I think its finally worked!
  • Has anyone else managed to order more than one of these books? I tried to order 3 copies but it only deducted one £10 discount from the whole order, so I ended up just ordering one.

    I see that some of you mentioned doing other books - did you manage to use the discount code again?

    On the site it describes them as A5 and 150mm x 210mm. You have to use their software to get the A5 book at the special price and don't add any extras (eg leather cover, photo on cover, printed title on cover, extra pages) or you will be charged accordingly.

    See pricing guide here

    Took me ages (as I played around with backgrounds, frames and text as well as layouts) but I placed 2 orders separately, each incurring a £1.50 P&P charge. I used one code for a book with linen cover @ £4.99 + £1.50 P&P (£6.49) and the other code for a book with photo cover @ £4.99 + £2.97 + £1.50 P&P (£9.47).

    I don't know if I can use either code a second time but as I gathered photos that I wanted to use in a new folder on my computer, it would be easy enough to register with another email address and use the same folder.

    Has anyone been able to place a second order with the same code?
  • My book arrived last week and I was pleased with it! It has a hot pink linen cover and I put lots of pics of my 2 little nieces in for my Mam. I found it very easy to do - just a case of choosing the page design from a list of templates at one side of the page then dragging your chosen pic into the space. It's A5 sized and the pages are a bit flimsey but it's what I expected for £4.99. Not sure I would be so happy if I'd paid £15 though.

    My teenage daughter has also made one for her friend - with lots of pic of them growing up together. We are looking forward to seeing this one! She chose a lime green cover so we may need sunglasses when it arrvies!

    It all works out good in the end.
    If it's not good, it's not the end!
