Compare The Difference Between Photo Books & Photo Albums

A QUICK GUIDE TO HELP YOU DISCOVER THE PERFECT KEEPSAKE

PHOTO BOOKS VS PHOTO ALBUMS

Compare the difference between photo books & photo albums is a helpful guide to assist you in choosing the best product to display your photos.

We have compiled a quick reference guide to help you explore the difference features of each of our photo books & photo albums and discover the best keepsake for your memories.

The Coffee Table Book offers two products, that we believe to be the two best photo books & photo albums in Australia.

We have a limited offering to make it easy for couples to choose the perfect keepsake. Each product has been refined with the best cover materials, archival papers and inks available, and with endless customisations to help make it yours. Combined with professional printing and bookbinding to ensure. your keepsake lasts.

While it may appear other album and photo book products on the market are cheaper to start —

  • firstly make sure you are comparing apples with apples when it comes to product specifications, features and quality
  • secondly watch for the hidden costs for upgrades and shipping.

 

Also with most other album and photo book companies, you have to design it yourself – quite the headache if you aren’t computer savvy or time-poor.

Firstly you have to figure out how to use the software, work around limitations, cull your photo gallery down from hundreds of photos to a couple of hundred, and it can be a timely exercise.

But not at The Coffee Table Book, we include our photo curation and custom design services as part of the product.

We have tried to keep our pricing competitive, structured to be super simple and transparent, and we include free standard shipping worldwide.

Use our Compare The Difference Between Photo Books & Photo Albums products guide, to take a look through the two different album and photo book styles. Our fine art photo albums and our premium softcover photo books to figure our the best fit for your wedding photos.
