Magazine-style Spreads
A full spread includes the left and right side when laying open. Unlike our RedTree Albums, these book spreads are not layflat. Choose any number of spreads from 20-100 for Hardcover Books and 10-80 spreads for Softcover Books.
Fine Art Press Paper
Our books are printed on the finest archival press papers. Choose eggshell for a true matte finish with slight texture that is soft to the touch, or smooth matte for a clean matte finish without texture.
Debossing
We offer custom debossing, standard debossing and studio logo debossing on Hardcover Books. Learn more about each option on our Customizations Guide.
Layout Design
Visit our Album Design page to learn about our in-house design service, and the software we recommend for those interested in designing albums themselves.
Note: Since our books have magazine-style spreads, keep important elements of your photos at least one inch from the center of the spread.
