"this was my fifth book...i am getting better with every one"
"Hi, my previous favorite publisher was sold and I wasn't happy with new company. I finally found a publisher I like! The mixbook website is so easy to use and offers many varieties of book sizes, paper quality and page layouts. Mixbook makes and delivers my book quickly! Most importantly, the product is beautiful! "
"Easy to use and great price. "
"Efficient service. Book is beautiful. "
"I have ordered 3 photo books and the website is user friendly and fun. The product is excellent and will be family treasures of our travels. I will absolutely order more!"
"PROS:
1) Best photo layout options...much better than Picaboo in that regard. Many options for each level (1 photo, 2 photos, 7 photos, etc) and they're more attractive than Picaboo.
2) Big photos displayed to select for the book. Easy to see and select photos this way. Picaboo has tiny photo tab below which are difficult to see and require enlarging before placing each photo in the book.
3) Photos display brighter with MIxbook than PIcaboo. With picaboo I have to manually brighten each photos..this takes time!
4) More reliable (technology) with MIxbook than Picaboo. I've lost dozens of hours of work with Picaboo failing to save, converting the entire book to one format (it's a default...especially on the last page..it's happened twice!) I've literally had to redecorate a 160 page Picaboo book twice. MIxbook does not have rediculous defaults for an entire book (wihtout a follow up like 'are you sure you want to apply this to the entire book?"
CONS:
1)Very limited backgrounds. I really missed the option to use my own photo as the background (for one page or both). It's my favorite page display.
2)No shaped photos. Picaboo allows you to use four shapes for a photo (star, circle/oval, square/rectangle, and heart. These really pop on a page and have become one of my favorite page design strategies.
3) Grossly overcharged for shipping...even the cheapest options.
4) lower quality pages than Picaboo.

"New "editor" inferior to "classic editor". Very much dislike new system. Why did you switch? Used to be very user friendly."
"I have been using Mixbook for at least 5 years now and I have been impressed with the quality and workmanship in every book that I have ordered. The books have a polished finish and look like a brand new store bought book. I will continue to use Mixbook and I have recommended Mixbook to family and friends. You will not be disappointed. "
"I used Mixbook to make a photo album of our 50th wedding anniversary trip to Alaska—and we weren’t disappointed. We ended up with TWO quality books, parts 1 and 2, of a momentous journey for us. "
"Nice user interface, plenty of options and a quality product. Mixbook is a great option for photo memories."
"I don't know why. Usually Mixbook is right on."
"I requested to have fast shipping and priority when it came to printing my photo book and the staff were extremely helpful. My photo book came just in time for my event. "
"My 400 page album arrived with the color quality a little off for a portion of it. I contacted customer service to make them aware of the quality issue so it would be corrected for future customers. Well to my surprise they reprinted my entire album for me at no charge with the color corrected. THANK YOU MIXBOOK!"
"I decided to try Mixbook as I needed to create a wedding memory photo book but had family in Canada & in England to send copies to. Great quality & it was cheaper to post to the UK than Ontario. "
"They took care right away!"
