The Medium Portrait Hardcover Book is the mainstay of our production. It is also the only format we currently offer.

Approximately A4 at 21cm by 30cm (or 8 by 11.5 inches), it is large enough to handsomely display your photos yet small enough to hold when reading. Sufficiently substantial to grace your coffee table yet it also fits on a bookshelf. The great all-rounder.

The hardcover has a matt-finished photo wrapped cover. Spill resistant and sturdy, it will last forever. Inside, the pages are formed from sturdy silk paper to best show off your photos and keep the text easy to read.

Even with this fantastic quality, our books remain very reasonably priced.

Your content is automatically layed out using PixxiBook’s custom Real Book layout technology. This creates a book that looks like a professionally created book, rather than a print out of a web page. Next to our exceptional customer service, it is our special-sauce.

It is obvious to see the result but behind the scenes the layout is rearranging and balancing the content to make it just so. The layout ensures that titles are prominent, text is in columns, photos are enlarged and kept near their refering text, photo size and text are harmonious, hyphenation and paragraph splitting is minimized and many other minor touches.

Many different layout patterns avoid monotony and maintains visual interest.

Multi Volume Sets

We try to keep books under 300 pages. With our high grade papers, already a typical 200 page book is about 25mm or 1 inch thick and a maximum 300 page book is about 35mm or 1.5 inches.

If you have a lot of content, we will propose to split it into multiple volumes. We ensure that posts are not split across volumes while at the same time making the volumes as similarly sized as possible.
