Blurb Books

"We really like your book, Paris. In fact, we'd like to know if you would consider giving us approval to reproduce and use your book for our marketing purposes.

Blurb would use a copy of the book for meetings at Blurb headquarters, as visual for our in-house library, within our marketing materials, and at industry conferences.

Essentially, when our executives are traveling or have meetings in-house, they like to have samples of books—like yours—that they can show to people as a good quality example of what people can create with Blurb. It may also be used on the website and in marketing collateral, in hopes it inspires others to make beautiful books."

“I’ve taken trips in the past, and afterward the photos sat in a drawer or on a hard drive, forgotten. For my most recent trip, I had Pics Elated Books create a memory album for me. It now sits proudly on my coffee table, and every time I look at it, I’m poignantly reminded of all the wonderful experiences I had on my journey. The book is amazing, and makes a great conversation piece. I will definitely have Pics Elated Books create an album for any future trips, and plan to get them to create books for my past ones.”

"I love my photo book. It is a beautifully made, high quality book. Worth every penny. You can't put a price on memories! Great job Marianne, thank you! I can't wait to give it to my father for Christmas!"

"I am so thankful to Pics Elated Books for doing what I have long wanted to do, but could never find the time: turn my pictures from a trip to Rome into an awesome book of memories!  I had always intended to do it myself, but with a career and family, I never had the time to devote to making it.  I feared I had lost some of the memories already since my trip was 5 years ago, and organizing the photos and arranging them in a thoughtful manner seemed like a daunting and time-consuming task. But Pics Elated Books did all of that for me and the finished product is so fun and such high quality!  Going through it, the memories came flooding back and I’m so excited now when I show it to my family and friends.  No longer are my photos sitting unviewed on a computer, now they are proudly displayed on my coffee table so I can enjoy them!  Thank you Pics Elated Books!"

"With all of the work that my wife and I did preparing for our wedding, we felt overwhelmed thinking of how to organize all of the photos taken that day. We wanted a special way to capture and show all of our photos with family and friends but without using a traditional photo album. Pics Elated Books offered the perfect way to organize and display our most precious memories in a hardbound book and without the hassle of organizing! We just dropped off the photos and what we received back was a personalized, intimate focus of the wedding, family and friends in a way that really brought tears of joy to our eyes. The attention to detail, arrangement, cropping and design were first rate. This service couldn't be any better in our eyes and were going to start a new book collection for our most cherished memories."

"Finally got my wedding photos in an album! Marianne Schrader, owner of Pics Elated Books, made the book for me. I love it! She is amazing - if you are in need of putting an album together she's your gal."

"When my sister gave my husband and me our wedding book we were so moved we began to cry. It brought that day back to life again and we felt like it was our wedding day at that very moment. What a beautiful way to capture one of the most important days of our life.  We will cherish our book forever."
