Beautiful as a gift!
Bought this book as a gift for my 8yr old nephew who is a huge fan of Marvel. This book is a completely unique gift! And after receiving the book in the post you can personalise it with a message and a photo all for free which then makes this gift extra special. I love it and so does my nephew!

I have not received the book I ordered…
I have not received the book I ordered from you. It was easy to contact you by email & you replied the next day. Also it was easy to reach you by phone. I tried to make one small change of the birthdate & I was advised it was too late as the book had already been sent to the production department. It seems odd to ask for a review of a book I have, as yet, not even received. Since you asked a 2nd time I can only give you a “C,” so far. The grade could go up or down depending on the quality of the book.

Disney - The Ultimate Princess Collection
I had previously ordered the disney princess book from a different website and was disappointed with the results. The text I had requested had only been half printed and the photo I sent hadn't been cropped or zoomed into the frame correctly so didn't provide a good finish. For the price and as a keepsake for my Daughter's 1st Birthday I was not happy. However, I reordered with in the book and was able to adjust the photo myself to ensure it fitted the frame and the personalisation was spot on! I wish I'd have gone directly to them initially!
