FAQ's on Ordering Coffee Table Books


Are these albums too expensive?

You may find lower cost alternatives to GraphiStudio albums for as low as $50, however, these albums are not of the same quality. Binding, paper, print resolution, size, customization, layout and design, and overall longevity.

For a $50 book, you get print quality worse than an inkjet printer in a size that is usually no larger than 8x10. The paper is thin and will not hold up to much more than 50 flip-throughs before the pages start looking shabby, creased, and dirty. The design will be extremely basic and if you hire professional help, you'll need to fork over an additional $500 for someone that knows what they're doing. Add on traditional binding, thick mounting stock for each page, and up the size to 12x16, and you'll be way into the thousand dollar range - that is... if you want quality.

Can't afford it? Put it on a credit card. These are your wedding pictures and you deserve the best.
