Printed books
The one that ends up on the shelf
A digital book is lovely at bedtime. A printed one is what gets carried around the house, read until the spine softens, and found in a box twenty years later.

Printed properly
The reason personalised books so often look cheap is that the words are drawn into the pictures. Ours never are.
Type set by us, not drawn
Every word is typeset at print resolution over the artwork. Crisp at 300 dpi, correctable to the last minute, and never a blurry approximation of letters.
Full bleed, with real margins
Artwork runs 3 mm past the trim on every edge, and nothing that matters comes within 10 mm of it. No white hairlines, no clipped faces.
Checked before it prints
Every page is checked for resolution before the file goes to press. If an illustration would print soft, we redraw it rather than send it.
Your dedication inside
Printed on its own page inside the front cover, in your own words. It is the page people keep.
Made to be handled
Thick matte art paper and a sewn case binding, because a book for a four-year-old is not a coffee-table object.
Extra copies cost less
The setup happens once. Copies for grandparents and godparents are discounted, and they arrive already personal.
Delivery
When printing opens, books will take 7–10 working days to print and arrive. If a date matters — a birthday, Christmas Eve — the digital edition is ready to read the moment you order it.
We will ship across Ireland, the UK, the EU, and to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. You will be able to send a book straight to somebody else: enter their address at checkout and the dedication goes with it.
Make the book first
Read the opening pages, change whatever you want, and decide about printing afterwards.
