Milestones

I was very excited to get my wedding album. I wouldn’t say that the finished product isn’t nice - it is a good looking book - however I was expecting more. The pages feel thin, and the pictures all came out with a pink undertone, which I am very disappointed about. I love my photographer’s pictures for the very balanced colours and light and I felt like the printed version looked very far from the pictures themselves. I am still happy we got a wedding album, but I wouldn’t necessarily redo an album with Milk Books.

I’ve had a number of photo books from Milk. This recent one may be the last. After spending hundreds of dollars with the company we weren’t happy with our latest book. Having contacted them about what seemed to be massively limiting the pages. I was told the maximum pages were now 80 (our last book was 200) On receiving our new book it was much smaller & no outer cover either. Whilst it was hard to compare the cost to the previous book due to the huge difference in page numbers, it’s just not in the same league. These albums aren’t cheap so when we contacted them to express that we weren’t best pleased, especially as it was a continuation of the previous album too, we were really disappointed at how quickly they dismissed it. Not sure I’d recommend them any more.

Book ships from Hong Kong so it is big unknown, even with expedited shipping, to know when the book will arrive. I bought a premium book and there were color saturation problems. They offer no design services that I could find. I ordered another book from Shutterfly which turned out well.

“Milk” is an interesting book that explains the importance of milk in daily life and culture. The author describes how milk is produced, processed, and used in different foods. I liked the simple language and useful facts. This book is helpful for students who want to learn about dairy science and nutrition.

I thought the paper would be thicker and a 120-pg book would feel more substantial. Also not thrilled with the color quality of printed photos (I'm a photographer and designer and very familiar with printing process and set up of color for photos.)
