Step one in the design of a beautful coffee table book: FIX THE PHOTOS. Photo aren’t ready to be printed right out of the camera. Books of Life color corrects, retouches, repairs, and enhances every photo in our books. When clients come to us after being frustrated from poor quality DIY book printing, often times one glaring issue is that they have skipped “developing” the photos all together. Scratches and tears of scans can be repaired to turn back the hands of time. Undetectable beauty retouching does this too. It all starts with the photos looking their best.

"I found my old 1968 album falling apart but the photos still spoke to me. I felt as if each one represented an adventure that became part of who I was and even who I am now. I am grateful my designer at Books of Life was a creative and patient partner in the process... allowing me to work through my decisions while adding beautiful details that enhanced the look of the book.”– A.B.
