What's the difference between Photo Books vs Picture Books?
Photo Books and Picture Books have many of the same great options with some key differences. All Photo Books and Picture Books require a minimum of 20 sides and are made with a professional hard cover in any of our Fabric, Faux Leather, Sparkle or Photo Covers. Key differences are in page style and papers, as well as book sizes.
Photo Books
Photo Books come in 2 page styles: hinged or non-hinged. Hinged pages lay flat when the Photo Book is fully opened and panaramic images span a 2 mm microgutter. Non-hinged pages do not lay flat and instead retain a curve when the book is fully open, much like a magazine.
Photo Books come in 4 paper types and 10 sizes. See our Options tab for details.
Picture Books
Picture Books have only 1 page style: a tight center crease with allows a panoramic image to seamlessly print over 2 pages without a gap or microgutter.
Picture Books come in 1 paper types and 4 sizes. See our Options tab for details.
