About SharedInk - Customer Comments
What customers are saying about our books...

"Today I received my photobook and I just want to thank you for your awesome work. The book is gorgeous, very well crafted and it looks just beautiful. My sister asked me to shoot her wedding so this book is her wedding present, I'm sure she will be over the moon and will treasure the book in the years to come :-) On top of that you have awesome customer service. I'll definitely recommend you to my friends and family and I´m looking forward to creating another book soon. Keep up the good work."
Katja K. - Hanover, Germany

"We just received our third book and it looks spectacular. Every year we collect our daughter’s photos and publish a book through SharedInk. We owe you many thanks for these books. Every year the book just gets better and better. We did our book a little different this year and we were amazed you actually recommended that we should cancel our order due to poor resolution of the photos we uploaded. Most companies would have just taken the money and sent us the book with the low quality pictures. Needless to say, we uploaded a new set of photos with higher resolution and published the book. Your company really does care about their product and it shows."
Jonathan G. - Tucson, AZ

"I am writing to let you know how pleased I was with my first SharedInk experience. I ordered three copies of an Aperture-to-PDF wedding book for a niece. The copies were all delivered on time, and were absolutely perfect. My niece raved about the quality of the book! The quality of the cover and binding is excellent, and the addition of the translucent fly leaf was a very nice touch as well. Thank you for running such a quality service! (And also for your excellent online support.)"
David M. - Stilwell, KS

"I purchased three copies of a book I created documenting my family's vacation and gave them to my parents and sister for Christmas. I just wanted to say thank you because the books are beautiful, and I managed to make all the recipients (including my father and brother-in-law) cry!"
Holly R. - Concord, NH

"Wow, these calendars are just beautiful. The quality is fantastic. I will definitely be ordering from you all again!"
Heather M. - Atlanta, GA

"I just received my first SharedInk book, and I love the quality of the product! I'll be ordering three more in a couple of days...they should make great holiday gifts. Thanks a bunch, and great job!"
Brian C. - Sedona, AZ

"I just wanted to thank you for your great product. I created a book using your service consisting of photos of our daughter as Christmas presents for my wife and our family. When the books arrived I immediately opened the boxes to see the finished product. I was so incredibly happy with the results that I couldn't wait for Christmas day to give my wife the book. I gave the book to her that same night. She was so overjoyed and tears of joy streamed down her face. The book will be something that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I thank you so much for your service. I had originally planned to use Apple's iPhoto service to publish books but the file transfer process failed every time, and would pre-authorize my credit card each time the file transfer failed. This caused me additional stress as you can imagine...but your service saved the day! Not only is the quality of the product great, but the entire process was smooth and beyond easy. Your customer service and your quick response to my questions via e-mail must also be commended. I will definitely use SharedInk again and will recommend it to all my friends and family."
Rick L. - Arlington, TX

"I received the copy of my book yesterday. I just want to say that the production values lived up to and even exceeded my hopes and expectations. You offer a terrific service and you can be sure I will be using SharedInk again."
Lloyd D. - Dunedin, New Zealand

"Thoughtful, personalised service + beautiful, high quality product = many happy future returns from this satisfied customer. Thanks for making our day - we ADORE our wedding album!!!"
Sandy S. - New York City, NY

"The books are the best thing I have ever seen. I can't THANK YOU enough for you time. All the help that you gave me, made the books just perfect. I can't wait to share them with my family. They will be soooo very excited. I appreciate you and your talent. Best wishes to you and your business. This is a must do for everyone who ever loved or felt loved by someone. What a great idea. Thank you for making it all come together so wonderful."
Margo W. - Kerrville, TX

"Just wanted to let you know your book created some wonderful moments at my son's 10th birthday. The product was beautiful but the moment at the end of the party when my son was sitting in a corner chair of the room with his head buried in the book was even more beautiful. After the party, he caught me to tell me how much he loved the book that he wants to "publish" a book with my help. I can't wait to get started on our project and with Sharedink's help it should be a great success."
Tyler C. - Portland, OR

"I have had trouble getting my photographs in a book with good quality and have used several places that I had to return the product and start over again. I was a little skeptical when I started with SharedInk but I have to say that the process was exceptionally easy and when I received my book today, I could have cried. I was ecstatic with the quality and cannot thank you enough. I will recommend you to all of my fellow professors and will use your service in the future. Thanks again."
Nicole B. - Flemington, NJ

"I love my book!!!! I will definitely be using your company again. Thank you so much - my husband will really enjoy this Christmas present!"
M. B. - West Vancouver, British Columbia

"I just received my book and I'm absolutely blown away with the quality to the point that I'd rather not parcel up (it's a gift). I had to bring it into the office to show a load of my colleagues - all of who want to get some done for Christmas. We are a bunch of expats living out here in Singapore and so photo books of our kids is such a great thing to send back for the grandparents etc."
Gavin C. - Singapore

"I want to thank you for doing such a GREAT job on the book for my husband's surprise party - he will love it and so will everyone at the party. I am so grateful for your willingness to go the extra mile to make sure I could get it in time. In the future, I will refer anyone that wants a book to SharedInk. I loved the finished product! You helped ease my stress by getting the book to me even earlier than I expected. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
Shannon B. - Huntington Beach, CA

"Thanks for your wonderful help in getting the photo books to Toronto in time for the Soccer-team Party!! The books were top quality. I received lots of enquiries from other soccer team parents and I am passing on the "story" to them. As well, I will be adding my comments to the iPhoto Blog this week and I hope this will pass along more customers - you deserve it!"
Steve P. - Toronto, Canada

"I wanted to thank you so very much for expediting my order! ALL of my family members were SO IMPRESSED with the book! Just about all of my cousins asked for your website and said they would be logging on to create their own photo books! My grandmother LOVED the book and it was passed around the entire weekend from event to event and from family member to family member! I will be ordering more books through your website. I will be adding more pages from this past weekend's event to that book and ordering several of them as requested by all of my aunts and uncles! Thank you again for helping me out in making everyone in the family happy with the pictures! It's a book that will be cherished forever!"
G. S. - Milford, CT

"We just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that we received the books we ordered and they look FANTASTIC!! Thanks for the outstanding customer service and all your help. We have shown the book to several of our friends who are already putting together books of their own so you should be getting some more business. We are also planning another book for Christmas so we'll be in touch."
Shon & Diane L. - American Fork, UT

"I got my latest book and it is gorgeous... exceptionally accurate colors and beautiful printing... everyone who sees it cannot get over how well done it is!"
Stan W. - New Rochelle, NY

"I received my books and they are AWESOME! You guys have awesome customer service and a wonderful product. (Plus creating the book was very easy which is a total bonus.) I let the moms in our class take a peek at the book today and now most of them want one! Thanks again for all your help!"
Deborah C. - Red Bank, NJ

"My book arrived moments ago and I am completely blown away. I wanted to make a nice gift for my child's teacher (I'm the room parent this year), so I thought I'd put together a keepsake book for her filled with drawings, hand written notes and photos. The final book turned out better than anything I could have hoped for. The quality of the book, the images, everything is absolutely fantastic! You can also be sure I will be a repeat customer. Thank you!"
Melissa S. - Monterey, CA

"My first book just arrived... WOW!! I'm sure that by now you're probably used to people marveling at what a wonderful product you have, but I am so very impressed. I am a huge perfectionist (and somewhat skeptical), but I can't believe how beautiful and well-made the book is. Cheers to you for a great product! I will sing SharedInk's praises far and wide."
Susanne B. - Pleasanton, CA

"My order has arrived, and it looks fantastic! I can't wait for my wife to open it on Mother's Day. Thank you so much for your customer care in this instance so that I could receive my order in time. The quality of your product and of your service ensures I'll be sharing your web site with all my friends and family."
Brian L. - Apex, NC

"I just wanted to say thank you for my new scrapbook. I received it in the mail this week and was more than pleased with the quality. I'm so happy to have my memories recorded in a way that will last a lifetime. I was more than a challenging customer and SharedInk was extremely helpful through the entire process. I will definitely be using your services again. Thanks!"
Marsha H. - Stoughton, WI

"Thank you SO much for taking my request to heart and expediting my book order. It arrived 2 days ahead of schedule and just in time for my mother's 80th birthday celebration. I am very, very grateful for your prompt attention. We are extremely pleased with your personal service and with the finished product. The book we received is professional quality in every respect and is far superior to the sample books we saw produced from iPhoto. It is a beautiful keepsake and a gift I am really excited and proud to give! We have 2 more books to create in the next month and will definitely be sending them to Sharedink for processing. Thank you again!"
Mary L. - Moorhead, MN

"The book we ordered of our granddaughter's debut into the world has been beyond expectations. It has been shown around and everyone wants to read it from beginning to end. Our book has gone to workplaces, doctor's offices, and is currently going with my wife to her beautician. It is a treasure that is, as the credit card ad states, "priceless". The quality of the cover and paperstock are perfect. Thank you for a priceless gift for us to share with families and friends. The customer service is as good as the product. Excellent. You and your staff have been instrumental in the development and execution of the project. Thank you."
Steven K. - Portland, MI

"Words cannot express just how lovely the book is that you created for us. The website was so wonderfully self-explanatory and the webbook so easy to create! We were looking for the most amazing present for our mom's 50th birthday and we found it with you. The order was completed in a very timely manner and shipped to us within days of placement (you guys are truly life- and birthday savers)! Whenever you're ready to do a commercial, just let us know and we'll certainly be in it for you! Thank you again for your hardwork and dedication to making our mother's birthday the best one ever."
Jenny and Katie H. - Pensacola, FL

"I have to say there are other cheaper places than you guys, but few that will allow you to import your own layout and get back a beautiful custom book. I just received my first book today and it is great! I am very happy. I will definitely be ordering more books in the future!"
Stefanie M. - Rockville, MD

"The books arrived safely and they are fantastic!!! You did a superb job in such a short period of time. Thank you for being so great to work with and for producing a wonderful product...take that back, a work of art. Everyone here will be recommending your company in the future. Thanks for being so nice and for having a top-shelf organization."
Carol O. - Natick, MA

"I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your help in expediting the book I purchased for my father-in-law's 60th birthday. The book came out beautifully and he absolutely loved it. I was so stressed that it wouldn't make it in time, but sure enough...it came a day early!!! Thank you so much. I will certainly be making more books in the future and will recommend your company to everyone I know."
Liz W. - Newton, MA

"I received my book and am thrilled with it. The quality is excellent, and it is such a beautiful book. I have been showing it to all of my friends and co-workers. Lots of people are getting their creative juices going with ideas. Thanks, and also thank you for all your great help with all the questions I had."
Heather S. - Bothell, WA

"I just wanted to thank your company for the fine job you did on my order. I received it today and very much on time. Thanks for the quality work. We will be doing more of these books. What a wonderful, quality piece of work."
Harvey C. - Irvine, CA

"I'm very pleased how my photo book turned out. I like the cover picture very much and the glossy paper that all the pictures are on. I had previously ordered a book from Snapfish, but had to return it because I wasn't happy with it. Now, I think I'll reorder that photo book through you guys. Thanks!"
Tuan H. - Long Beach, CA

"Wow! UPS just delivered the book and it's gorgeous! You made me look quite professional, and for that, I'm truly grateful and so is my friend who's giving it to her husband for his birthday. You are a shining example of what "customer service" should be! Thank you for making me feel confident that the final product would look like what I wanted."
Liz B. - Fullerton, CA

"I am thrilled with the finished product. Everything, including shipping, was first-rate. The paper, print, cover, etc. surpassed my expectations. It is a wonderful product, at a most reasonable price, AND it was fun and easy to do. Keep up the good work!"
Gail R. - Brunswick, ME

"The book arrived on Saturday and is sensational! My husband adores it and he's sharing it with everyone...so watch for more business headed your way. I will be ordering another copy for my mother-in-law later today. Thanks again for creating such a priceless piece."
Molly S. - Baltimore, MD

"Thank you for everything. We got the photo book on time and my sister really loved it! Thank you for the great customer service and the lovely album."
Eileen C. - Pleasant Hill, CA

"I got my book today. I just wanted to let you know that I think this is a GREAT product. I'm so pleased with the outcome. I love the idea of our thoughts and pictures being put in a hard bound book. We'll keep it forever!! I'll be sure to spread the word about your services to my friends and family, and you'll definitely be getting my business again!"
Trisha B. - Cypress, TX

"I just wanted to thank you for all of your help. You have an outstanding product! I just got to see the two books we purchased and I was amazed at the quality, they were just beautiful. I have been telling everyone about your website."
Terry S. - Eagle River, AK

"The response to my book is unbelievable! I made a "baby's first year" with photos and titles showing how my Great-Nephew spent his first year. His parents have not stopped talking about it. They were truly touched and can't wait to show it off to their friends and family. Your website is so easy to use and it is really fun to put a book together. This was my first book by SharedInk and I have to tell you that you turn out a treasured gift. I am so very happy I found your website and already have plans for my next book. Thanks for all your help and for having such a great website -- it makes me look good!"
Nancy J. - Coeur d'Alene, ID

"Thank you so much for expediting my book. It was the perfect surprise! The book is beautiful; it'll be a huge hit at the school auction. I am certain we will have several more orders by early next week. Thank you again for all of your attention and help. I will recommend your company to everyone! P.S. The book sold for $1000.00 at the auction!! It really was beautiful. Everyone was very impressed."
Pam C. - Greenwood Village, CO

"I have had my copy of our family album for over a month and I still cannot come up with the words to thank SharedInk for helping me put this book together! I grew up in a family of nine and the only real problem we have had was 'what to do with the family pictures'? Our parents loved photography so naturally we all wanted every the picture! SharedInk has been the perfect medium! We all are on the Internet so everyone was able to view them daily as I added each photo. My siblings, who live in different states, looked forward to the latest daily addition during the weeks I was working on the book. I love photography also, so the SharedInk program became an awesome hobby for me! When the book was finally finished, and I ordered my copy..well that is when I was at loss for words! I am so sorry I have not written to you sooner..but that is the reason! It is everything and more that you advertise! It is the most beautiful book I have ever laid hands on! Thank you so much for all that you did for our family! I just wish I had the words to truly express how I feel about your service!"
Suzanne G. - Norman, OK

"I just received the book I ordered. It is so beautiful! I am so pleased with the end product. You have done an excellent job!! Thanks!"
Libby W. - Scottsdale, AZ

"Just a note to let you know how wonderfully pleased I am with the book I made. It came out looking like a REAL BOOK!!!! I was so impressed with the quality and look of the book. It made me feel like I had really published something! How much fun! You have a great website - I am telling lots of people about it."
Jane S. - Chappaqua, NY

"We moved in to our newly built and designed home in Tokyo at the end of December. Our friend just came by with his wife and children and presented us with an album which shows the house from lot-stage to move-in. AMAZING! This was beyond doubt the most thoughtful house warming gift we could have ever imagined. You have a great product. I bet there is a global market for this - I am sure people in Japan would love it. We will spread the good word to our friends."
Orlando C. - Tokyo, Japan

"I just received my book, and it's incredible, and the shipping was so, so fast. I'm just stunned at the quality of the finished product."
Wendy S. - Port Orchard, WA

"Wow. I received the book this morning, and it's beautiful. Thank you so much for getting it here so quickly. I can't wait to give it to my husband tomorrow at his party!"
Audrey B. - Cherry Hills Village, CO

"I have to tell you, the books are incredible. Actually brought tears to one recipient! Very nice, an excellent gift. Thanks so much for jumping all over this... it really added to our holiday!"
Dave M. - Lumberton, NJ

"We ordered two copies of our baby book as Christmas gifts for our son’s two sets of grandparents. The books are so beautiful! It was hard to wrap them up and give them away! We want to wait until our son is a year old to order a copy for ourselves – it is going to be hard to wait!!! What a wonderful company! Everyone who sees the book just raves!!!!"
Jamie L. - Phoenix, AZ

"I received the book yesterday and it is great! My parents will love to receive this book of their first grandchild. Thanks for providing such a service. I've been looking around for a service like this (books instead of a traditional photo album) at affordable prices. I'm glad I found SharedInk!"
Cheryl G. - Woodbury, NY

"The books arrived this afternoon and we are delighted! Thanks for all your help. I never believed I could get that done and it would get here in time. Miracles DO happen!"
June M. - Troy, MT

"What an awesome web site! We just recently returned home from an extended vacation. My husband wanted to get all the pictures organized. You should have seen how surprised he was Christmas morning to receive the SharedInk book with the highlights of our vacation pictures! Being the procrastinator I am - SharedInk responded beyond my belief on the quick turnaround time. I will definitely be ordering again. Thank you!"
Cheryl D. - Duvall, WA

"I received the book today, and it's better than I expected. Thank you for all your help. This will be a very special Christmas present to my wife."

Customer reviews...

"Last weekend our most recent customer came over to pick out their photos. The bride's mother brought her own wedding album along. She was convinced that she wanted her daughter to have the same album - it was the 'old school' kind of album with very heavy cardboard pages and photo inserts. We pulled up a website that was selling those albums and showed her that it was going to cost her several hundred dollars just to put the album together - not including photos!

Then we whipped out our SharedInk book, a 'wedding sampler' of 26 pages of some of our best wedding photography.... and they loved it. So much nicer, cleaner, more professional. So, they ordered just a handful of photos, and TWO SharedInk books! I just wanted to thank you for putting together such a professional product!"

Shawn Richter - Caught On Film Photography


"When two families, 2000 miles apart, were faced with creating a book for their mother’s 80th birthday that would tell her story, we were at a loss as to how to do it. Then we found SharedInk and our troubles were over.

The web-based system is easy, fast, and foolproof for individuals who are intimidated by computers and yet creative enough to satisfy those who want to do more than just drop a few photos onto a page. We found everyone could work on the book at the same time and the product developed almost magically.

When questions arose, the customer service that Chris Hickman provided was excellent. He patiently answered all our questions by email so fast that we believe he must sleep by his computer.

We especially liked the downloadable PDF version that SharedInk offers at no charge – we sent this version electronically to all who were involved in the creative endeavour, thus preserving the uniqueness of the hardcover edition for the recipient and providing a record for other family members.

When the finished product arrived, we were overwhelmed with its quality – a beautiful linen hardcover with glossy pages. The family photos looked better than we expected, even the old ones and newspaper cuttings that we had to scan. When we presented the book with a speech and champagne, our mother was overcome!

Thank you, SharedInk, for an incredibly beautiful product that made a special occasion simply stunning for all concerned."

Julie H. Ferguson - Beacon Literary Services


"It's a great solution to a problem lots of parents face: finding the time to organize and produce high-quality photo albums when we have small children doing their best to eat the glue. Not only can you use the SharedInk Web site to create an easy online album, you can also choose to have it printed out (meaning you only have to create the same album once, and then you can send it to both your mother and mother-in-law, for significant brownie points at key holidays)."

Martha Brockenbrough - Author of "It Could Happen to You! Diary of a Pregnancy and Beyond" and creator of The Mommy Chronicles


"My mother-in-law told me about this site and I started playing around with it a while ago. I wanted to start a little baby book that my family could participate in. When I was initially setting it up, I ran into a few technical problems. I think customer service is very important and I received more help sorting out my problems than I had ever hoped for! The person who helped me was very patient and eager to sort out any bugs to make sure the site runs efficiently. They were so grateful for my feedback and questions that they offered me points off of my first web book! The site is very easy to use and if you need any help, you get a response very quickly! The staff is very helpful and friendly. The site itself is fun in that you can set it up so that family members can contribute to your book. It is truely a unique site and fun to play with. I have yet to order a book. Considering the service and support I have received this far, I can expect nothing but a quality and superb product! Great site!"

Kelly L. - Mililani, HI


"Family means everything to me and I love pictures, but have never had my camera at the right time or took pictures just to forget about that roll and years, yes, I mean years later develop horrible old pictures. I have boxes of pictures. Many of my most treasured ones are faded. What I love about SharedInk is that we can save those treasured memories and pick the ones we really want to make into a book to last forever. Now, I know just where to find the pictures and only download the ones that I really want. Talk about getting organized! I'm a mother of four and a grandmother who is so excited about making an heirloom that will last for generations. I am so into geneology and enjoy the search, but it took so much time to share my findings along with the story that went along with great, great, grandma so-and-so. Now, with SharedInk, I not only can share the stories, but can have others add to the stories and pictures of ancestors. It is so easy. My husband is having a ball making a book about the restoration of our '53 MGTD. I am in the process of making several books on my grandchildren and my parents. My boss is retiring next year and I plan for her staff to make a great retirement book. How much fun to make a graduation gift of a book from kindergarten to graduation. The possibilities are endless. I'm not a whiz on the computer, but Sharedink makes each step so easy. I tried scrapbooking, but came away frustrated because I was not happy with what I had accomplished or didn't want to put the time into making another scrapbook about the same people. With Sharedink, I can make one scrapbook about my parents and can send each of my children a published book with their own memories of Grandma and Grandpa to personalize it for them. Thank you, SharedInk, for getting me organized."

Patti G. - Glendale, AZ


"I just love SharedInk! It is so easy to use. I am a new mom and I was looking for a way to organize and share pictures of my son with friends and family. I started creating a webpage on my own and I had to stop at one page because it was so difficult. Soon after, I was introduced to SharedInk. It was a true lifesaver! I am able to update my son's book in a matter of minutes. My family and friends can watch him grow from across town or across the country! I can't wait to buy my first books and I am so thrilled that I will be able to please both sets of grandparents with multiple copies. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you SharedInk!"
