Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT ARE YOUR BOOKS MADE FROM?

All our books are made from Grade A quality mount board and are covered in top quality handmade mulberry or silk paper.

We also use factory made books in some cases, these conatain 50+ pages and come with a simple clear lidded box. They have a white leather look cover and really are affordable luxury.

See individual listings for further details

WHAT ARE THE PAGES MADE FROM?

All of the pages are made from high quality ultra smooth white card with a minimum weight of 250gsm, this ensures that the pages are strong enough to hold photgraphs.

HOW MANY PAGES CAN I HAVE?

Our books come with a standard 20 pages giving you 40 sides to use. We can add extra pages for a small charge but we would recommend no more than 30 pages due to the size of the binding rings.

This does not include the factory made books which contain 50+ pages.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GUEST BOOK AND A PHOTO ALBUM?

Absolutely none! Our books are made to suit many uses, all come made to the same high quality and with blank pages to use as you please.

HOW DO I STICK PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE BOOK?

We would suggest that you use double sided tape or phot corners, both are available from any good stationers and most supermarkets.

WHAT SIZES DO YOUR BOOKS COME IN?

Our standard size is A5 (half of A4) but some books are available in A4 also.
Holiday memory books are available in 8 x 8 inch size.
Each listing shows the sizes available.

CAN MY BOOK BE MADE IN A DIFFERENT COLOUR?

Of course! Most of our books can be customised to suit your colour scheme. Please fill in the personalisation boxes on the listing and inform us of your colour choice. PLEASE NOTE: We use different suppliers for our card  and so cannot guarantee colour matches. For this reason we would advise that you buy all the items required in one transaction. This enables us to use the same batch for all of your order.

CAN I CHANGE THE WORDING ON THE FRONT OF THE BOOK?

Absolutely! We can print any wording of your choice.This may affect the position of any decoration but we will alter it in the best way to suit the design.

HOW LONG IS YOUR DISPATCH TIME?

We have worked hard on this one! There are now two of us working full time at The Keepsake Boutique so dispatch time can be kept to a minimum.

Always check the home top right hand side column for up to date dispatch notices.
