Love the product

Good idea as a gift but the quality is not strong enough and the price is too high just for personalising the book.
In the Book Team25 Mar 2020
Thank you for your review.
We are so sorry to hear of your disappointment
All our books are made with 120gsm high grade printing paper, which is ideal for printing purposes. We are unable to locate any communication to our Customer Service Team from you in regards to the issue with the quality.
In regards to price, the personalisation make it more unique which does make it more expensive than just a generic book. However it also includes the materials to make your item, the machines to print the pages on and the staff to make put your book together.
If you need to contact the customer service team, please do on 0330 058 0403 or contact@inthebook.com

Absolutely beautiful books and really quick turn around
It's the second one I've bought and both people loved them and thought they were really special gifts. Would be good if it wasn't just Mirror clippings but that's a small point.
