UBuildABook is a fantastic company to work with. Every member of the staff is personable and responsive. Any questions I had were answered quickly. If they ever did happen to miss a call from me I always got a call back. On top of having a wonderful staff to work with the end product is also beautiful. The colors turn out so vibrant and the quality is excellent. I look forward to working with them again!

I have worked with U Build a book 3 times now in the last 10 years. This last time was with a Children's book called Sparky The Broken Mirror. We got the books 2 weeks sooner then expected and we were so happy with the look and quality of the books. They were hard copy books and the colors on the cover and in the book and the glossy pages looked amazing. I highly recommend Dennis and the whole U Build a book team. They are top notch.

Working with Steve and Ashley at YouBuildaBook, helped in making the process of getting my book to fruition easier than originally thought. This was my first attempt at putting a book together from start to finish. The book looks great and I am very pleased with the outcome. Once the final proof was completed
it only took 4 weeks to receive the completed product. Every thing went smoothly thanks to the helpful staff. And they DO answer their phones.

This is my second "Official" book and I decided to go with U Build A Book and I'm glad I did. Starting with the software to custom design the book which is a more visual than text based book, the drop and drag program worked great!
Then working with their ordering team...they follow through on everything in a timely manner. The only problem there was the final wait for printing but I guess due to our world's current issues everything was backed up.
Now regarding the book itself... BEAUTIFUL colors. This book regarding The Beatles, already is selling around the world and I'm getting quite the compliments in regards to how nice it looks. It's available to order and will soon be on Amazon! - Ray Zirkle(Advertising The Beatles Vol. 2)

After looking at many on-line printing sources for a batch of hardcover books, I’m very pleased that we selected UBuildABook.

Their staff and their online tools were very helpful, especially for estimating and designing the cover and spine artwork. The final books turned out wonderfully – exactly to our specifications, and they all arrived in excellent condition. UBuildABook delivered all the features that we sought, and their prices also happened to be the best.

All in all, it was a smooth and successful process.

This was my first time using U Build A Book after having some bad experiences with other print on demand companies and I was more than a little nervous being on a tight timeline to have some books printed up for an event. I came across U Build A Book online and was immediately impressed with their user friendly interface and samples on their website. I uploaded my files with no problem (which is amazing because I had spent a nightmarish week previously trying to upload my files to another website with no success) and emailed with incredibly sweet and helpful people who reassured me they'd have the book to me in time for the event and upgraded me free of charge to a premium cover and nicer paper for my publication. The art department worked with me step by step to make sure my cover was formatted perfectly and were very patient with me even as I messed up multiple times. In a super short amount of time, all my books were delivered to my doorstep and came out BEAUTIFULLY. I'm so happy with how they came out and will definitely use these guys for all future book orders. Thank you so much to the entire team at U Build A Book - you guys are lifesavers!

My publishing company had a VERY COMPLICATED book we needed in hardcover. Other hardcover on demand printers turned us down because of the complexity. Those that would consider the job wanted up to $126 PER BOOK.

The team at U Build a Book figured out a way to make it work and charge a fraction of the other quotes. My expectations were in align with the price. It would be above average and that was fine.

My 5-stars gives away the ending . The quality was indistinguishable from a major print company: solid binding, perfect lamination, deep blacks, crisp pages cut with precision delivered on the early-end of their promised timeline.

Overdue for a review. Our elementary school made the decision to switch yearbook vendors. It was a tough choice because we would lose an in person rep who was helpful. The only reason we shopped around was pricing. We requested a sample from Ubuildabook and they shipped a great looking product to us immediately. We were thrilled to see that they used the same software as our previous company, so there was no learning curve. I was nervous about them being online and on a different coast, but the service is TOP NOTCH! Customer service, accounting, technical, etc. They worked us through issues with easy instructions and pictures for resources, always in a timely manner. I even learned a few new technical tricks! We were able to provide our families with a beautiful hardback yearbook for the same price as paperback books from the other company. I HIGHLY recommend this company! It was a great experience.
