Whitewall’s online book creator offers an automatic layout function that arranges all your chosen images throughout the book, so you only need tweak the final look. The manual design process is almost as convenient, being snappy and well designed. Once ordered, the book arrived in a joint-fastest time of a very rapid four working days.

In Standard Landscape size, the book is close to a 3:2 ratio, and you can spec up to a whopping 252 pages. The 170gsm Standard Silk Matte paper is relatively thin and not particularly luxurious, though. We’d recommend stepping up to the 250gsm premium paper, as the price difference is negligible. It’s just a pity there isn’t a lay-flat option available. That said, print quality is good, with excellent colour and contrast, an attractive cover print, and neutral monochrome reproduction. Our test pattern image is presented extremely well, although outright print resolution isn’t quite as high as Bob Books’. Skin tones could also be a touch warmer.

VERDICT

Pros: Lots of design and page count options; decent print quality; fast; well-priced

Cons: Average paper quality; printing not a match for the best We say: Good value all-rounder
