This is my second "Official" book and I decided to go with U Build A Book and I'm glad I did. Starting with the software to custom design the book which is a more visual than text based book, the drop and drag program worked great! Then working with their ordering team.they follow through on everything in a timely manner. The only problem there was the final wait for printing but I guess due to our world's current issues everything was backed up.

Now regarding the book itself. BEAUTIFUL colors. This book regarding The Beatles, already is selling around the world and I'm getting quite the compliments in regards to how nice it looks. It's available to order and will soon be on Amazon! - Ray Zirkle(Advertising The Beatles Vol. 2)

I just want to express my appreciation to the management and staff of U BUILD A BOOK for the printing of my book, Dance FootPrints. I am so greatful and excited about the finished product. EXCELLENT FINISHING. Thank you for a job well done. Especially Amanda and Steve for making the process easy. THANK U.I look forward to continuing business with your company. Love from Saint Lucia

I had an excellent experience with UBuildABook. Everyone I worked with responded to me promptly, and always answered my questions. They were friendly and positive throughout my experience publishing my book. Their product is excellent, and I could not be happier.

Overdue for a review. Our elementary school made the decision to switch yearbook vendors. It was a tough choice because we would lose an in person rep who was helpful. The only reason we shopped around was pricing. We requested a sample from Ubuildabook and they shipped a great looking product to us immediately. We were thrilled to see that they used the same software as our previous company, so there was no learning curve.

I was nervous about them being online and on a different coast, but the service is TOP NOTCH! Customer service, accounting, technical, etc. They worked us through issues with easy instructions and pictures for resources, always in a timely manner. I even learned a few new technical tricks! We were able to provide our families with a beautiful hardback yearbook for the same price as paperback books from the other company. I HIGHLY recommend this company! It was a great experience.

After looking at many on-line printing sources for a batch of hardcover books, I'm very pleased that we selected UBuildABook. Their staff and their online tools were very helpful, especially for estimating and designing the cover and spine artwork. The final books turned out wonderfully - exactly to our specifications, and they all arrived in excellent condition. UBuildABook delivered all the features that we sought, and their prices also happened to be the best. All in all, it was a smooth and successful process.

I wrote a memoir book of my life with my late wife for family and close friends to honor her memory. The book turned out to be really special. They obviously take great care in the work they do. I am very pleased that I trusted them with this important project.

My daughter self published a childrens book for her Gold award and we used U Build A Book for printing. The program was easy to use and the staff was so helpful. The final product was amazing! Highly recommend them!

This was my first time using U Build A Book after having some bad experiences with other print on demand companies and I was more than a little nervous being on a tight timeline to have some books printed up for an event. I came across U Build A Book online and was immediately impressed with their user friendly interface and samples on their website. I uploaded my files with no problem (which is amazing because I had spent a nightmarish week previously trying to upload my files to another website with no success) and emailed with incredibly sweet and helpful people who reassured me they'd have the book to me in time for the event and upgraded me free of charge to a premium cover and nicer paper for my publication.

The art department worked with me step by step to make sure my cover was formatted perfectly and were very patient with me even as I messed up multiple times. In a super short amount of time, all my books were delivered to my doorstep and came out BEAUTIFULLY. I'm so happy with how they came out and will definitely use these guys for all future book orders. Thank you so much to the entire team at U Build A Book - you guys are lifesavers!

My school did its yearbooks with them. They were attentive, and patient with all our questions on their software. They gave us a production schedule and reminded us when things were due. They helped center and put text on our cover. We chose to do a hardcover for the first time and it came out gorgeous. We received upgraded and premium paper as well as black end sheets. We sold white, gold and silver pens and the kids had a blast signing each others books. I can't say enough good about this company.

I have become a complete fan of U Build A Book. The quality of their books rivals Blurb which, until I discovered U Build A Book, was my go to printer. Unlike Blurb, U Build A Book has a supportive customer service with people you can actually talk to. Imagine that! The team is supportive, responsive, and aims to give you the absolute best quality possible. They produce everything from art books and yearbooks, to personal memory books.

They will happily send you samples of various products so that you can see the quality of their books as well as select the covers and papers you prefer. They also produce books in any size, which was a big draw for me. Blurb and many other printers only produce standard sized books. Publishing a book can be an emotional process. The folks at U Build a Book guide you through it with kindness and professionalism. Though the name of the company may be cheesy sounding, the quality of their product and the customer service they provide is absolutely The Best. You won't go wrong in choosing U Build a Book.

See screenshot below to prove this is a verified purchase My publishing company had a VERY COMPLICATED book we needed in hardcover. Other hardcover on demand printers turned us down because of the complexity. Those that would consider the job wanted up to $126 PER BOOK. The team at U Build a Book figured out a way to make it work and charge a fraction of the other quotes. My expectations were in align with the price.

It would be above average and that was fine. My 5-stars gives away the ending. The quality was indistinguishable from a major print company: solid binding, perfect lamination, deep blacks, crisp pages cut with precision delivered on the early-end of their promised timeline.

I recently had a large shipment of hardcover art books printed with this company, and they did an amazing job! They were very helpful, easy to get in touch with, and the books turned out perfect. Nothing damaged, great print quality, and rich colors. Definitely recommend, especially to artists, if you need a book printed!

I want to update my review! I have ordered another 1,000 copies of a new book I created called A Real Food Alphabet, so I am a repeat customer now. Dennis shared with me that they have purchased new equipment and when I received the cover proof, I could tell immediately. The color is a much closer match! Steve, from the art department, has been very helpful to me as I prepared my book for print. I am happy I've continued to choose to work with this company and appreciate all the care and support they offer!

This is my first time having a photo book printed and I am very happy with the results. I went on a vacation this summer with a few friends and wanted to surprise them with photo book of our vacation. A friend suggested U Build A Book because of their easy to use photo book software and quick turn-around time. It's nice because they have several photo layout templates that make it easy to arrange photos in the book.

They also have several cool borders and frames to add flare. The layout process took much less time than I anticipated because of the templates and quick photo upload. The books arrived this week, less than 2 weeks after I ordered them, and they look awesome! The printing quality is topnotch. The pictures look great and I can't wait to surprise my friends with the books.

We used Ubuildabook for our school yearbooks. We were very impressed with their hands on customer service and reasonable pricing so that all our students could afford hardcover books. Our yearbook coordinator was a PTA member and new at designing a yearbook. She was able to call or stop in for help anytime. Our students got hardcover yearbooks for the first time. Thank you UBUILDABOOK!

Our school has used them for the last two years, and I've been very pleased with them. They have worked with us on scheduling and even managed to do an emergency last minute printing of a handful of books that were needed due to a clerical error at my school. The books were great quality and looked exactly as I envisioned (not like the old yearbook company that could never figure out where to crop the pages!).

I cannot say enough good about this company!! I just did books for my daughters for Christmas and they were exactly what I wanted them to be. I know I drove Amanda in customer service crazy as I fretted and worried that I wouldn't get them in time for Christmas since I had submitted them at the end of November but she was so gracious and sweet and reassuring and I got them back in plenty of time.

They were a huge hit. Both girls cried as they read them. So thank you thank you for a terrific job. Your prices are great, your work is exceptional and your staff completely wonderful. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
