For my final year at university I wanted to produce a book to show the project I had spent all year working on, Saving Britain’s Native Squirrel. This book would be filled with my own photography and words, and I wanted the final product to be of a high quality to show the work off at its best. It would also be featuring in two exhibitions, so it was really important for me to make a good impression on the audience.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COMPANY

After having a problems in the past with other book makers, I was a little apprehensive about which company to try next. Saal Digital had begun to appear on my social media feeds and had glowing reviews from other photographers, so I thought I would give them a try, especially as they were offering product testing!

CREATING THE BOOK

I can thankfully say that I am so happy that I did! The service from beginning to end was flawless and the quality of the photo book is outstanding. I created a 28x28 photo book and added in the optional extras to enhance the quality (padded cover, gloss pages, no barcode, gift box) and it truly made all the difference.

I also chose to design the book using Adobe InDesign and had complete freedom with the layout. The templates were clearly labelled for which book size and page number that I needed, and technical details such bleeds, spine, image resolution, etc. were explained very well.

CONTACTING SAAL DIGITAL

However, the first book that was sent did have some printer ink marks on two of the pages, so I contacted Saal to see what could be done about this. To my surprise they sent me another copy free of charge with no quibbles, and it was delivered in time for the first exhibition.

RECEIVING THE BOOK

When the book was delivered I was eager to open it up and have a thorough look through it. I was so pleased with the quality of the finish and how my images and text appeared in print. The delivery was super quick and it arrived well packaged to my front door. I hugely recommend Saal Digital for their professional approach and high quality products, and would not hesitate to use their service again!
