Blurb.com Reviews 

I have ordered with Blurb many times and would recommend it every single time :)

Very happy with the quality of the books and the prompt delivery.

I have printed many books through Blurb over the years and the upload from Indesign is so easy. I really love the quality finish of the Blurb books.

Always good quality, speedy turnaround and well packed for shipping.

Hi, Can you help me with the fact that the program tends to "jump" when you are entering new text of pictures.

Otherwise I love the program. John Walton

The accuracy of colour is excellent, the delivery was ahead of schedule (very grateful because it was a birthday present!!!!) One suggestion- to include bleed lines so we can tell where the image cuts off.

I appreciate the rapid turnaround production of my books however, as mentioned in a previous review, the postal packaging is terrible and leaves the books susceptible to damage - particularly soft cover books where corners and edges can be easily damaged. An order of five trade books all had some kind of minor damage to the corners. Not good enough and this should be an easy thing to rectify so please do so.

The book arrived earlier than the schedule stated when I placed the order. Had the delivery schedule been more accurate I would not have spent extra money on the express service.
Otherwise the printing quality was faultless.

Iam always slightly disappointed on the quality of printing with shadows and details..always looks great on screen and PDF..but on paper lacking clarity..any tips to improve these like sharpening or lightening cdrtain omshes more in anticipation. I did this bit really didn't make differance as mb didn't want o over do it

Helpful and informative. The packages were always tracked and arrived on time

Speedy service and queries answered quickly. Photo images printed tend to be on the darker side than actual, also a bit more more saturated than actual. Overall, very satisfied.

My Blurb books are fantastic. They were fun to make. The arrived promptly and the quality is excellent. All my past travel books are Blurb as will be all my future travel books. Thank you Blurb

You do a very professional job, and the service is prompt. I like the discounts.
Thanks,
Dan

The book was very good, colours spot-on - and the turnaround was impressive.

Bookwright worked well. Delivery was fast. But the price this time around was up a long way and no explanations. I guess it's covid supply chain but is it?

Great quality! Not my first blurb book, def not the last.

This is the first time I’ve used BookWright to produce a text only book. I had a few difficulties with the software until I realised I needed to save after every change. I am used to programs that save automatically. The other limitation was not being able to find and replace a repeated error (such as a US spelling). A few simple tips upfront would have saved me hours of work.

I did seek help when the entire document crashed but the advice just pointed me to FAQs which I had already read. The issue, I think, was failure to continuously save.

Once I worked that out, reloaded and proceeded with great care, it worked although I did not have the confidence to make too many layout adjustments.

I added my own ISBN, then from the screen advice ordered a proof copy. When I made adjustments based on the proof copy I could not use the same ISBN. Advice to use a Blurb ISBN for a proof copy before uploading would have been useful.

Having finally got a copy uploaded, with ISBN, the printing process was excellent - fast, good product, well packaged. I also appreciate the website layout and process.

Thanks for the service- and for seeking feedback.

The books were great. The hard cover ones arrived in beautiful condition, they were well packed. But the soft cover books weren’t packed very well. The soft cover books all had damage to the corners, not major damage but they weren’t in perfect condition. The type of box they used had a flap that was pushed in and that must have caused the damage, also it wasn’t sealed with tape and had opened a bit and 2 of the books were visible by the time I received them.

My introduction to Blurb was by my daughter in-law in 2015, who has been using Blurb for photographic publication purposes for some years. The work I have used Blurb for (4 publications) has been historical records concerning family members, their life, work and contributions to community.

From a technical perspective, once familiar with the system, I have found it to be good. With my latest publication the inflexibility of the ISBN location on the back cover was of concern which necessitated an adjustment of the cover illustration to achieve the desired outcome and minimize any loss of the illustration.
