While Mark and Emma were pondering over their selection of photographs I decided to use this opportunity to put together a glossy 26 page A4 landscape book as a surprise. I was conscious that several of the most dramatic shots would suit the panoramic effect of a double page spread in this format.

The download for the editing software was trouble free and very simple. I was able to jump in very quickly and start creating a journalistic story of their day. The software is extremely intuitive with good prompts for brightness, bleed and simple settings for auto alignment of pictures, or not, as you prefer.

The pricing structure is very clearly indicated as you construct your book from a basic template and the increasing or decreasing effect of any specification changes are clearly and instantly displayed in the pricing panel.

As you effectively work off-line on the Saal software it is extremely easy to drop in and out of the project as time permits. Once I was happy with the end product it was extremely easy to upload to the site and place my order.

I was extremely surprised at how quickly my photobook was created and despatched, taking less than 12 hours overnight! Delivery took exactly four working days as predicted and I was able to track progress through my account information. I am delighted with the end product. From the padded cover with wrap-around finish to the the extremely glossy, high quality, pin-sharp print and the invisible binding which enhances the double page shots, the whole thing exceeds my expectations. The value for money aspect is astounding. Please see a few pictures of the book below.

I will certainly be using Saal Digital UK again and I would recommend them highly to anyone looking for a high quality photobook.
