My Travel Photobook Collection

proud of my travel and proud to have it all...

"All the memories make me want to go back there... All the memories, how can we make it back there... I want to be there again" - Weezer

Photobook Philippines, as part of the Photobook Worldwide Group, is the most popular photo book company in the Philippines. An ideal gift for the special occasions, Photobook preserve special memories and it comes in professional binding. Delivery within 7-11 days business days with easy-to-use bookmaking program.

A photobook is a book in which photographs make a significant contribution to the overall content. The most critically acclaimed photo-books celebrate the creative work of an individual photographer. With personalized photobooks, a real book with its own images and texts can be created. The resulting book is printed on digital color printers and case bound.

I started to have interest on this kind of memorabilia when I saw an advertisement for a voucher giving discount of 75% off for a personalized book from Photobook Philippines. Giving the impression that this looks like a graduation or a prenuptial commemorative collection, why not give it a shot on my travel addictiveness. I immediately signed-in and availed 4 vouchers for only PhP1,450 for 52 pages each book (11-in. x 8.5-in. Medium Landscape Imagewrap Standard Hardcover).

Here's what I did on how this precious book handed over on my side:

1. I checked discounted vouchers on online promotional deals website.
2. I signed-in, follow-up instructions how to pay and noted the expiration date of the promo.
3. I signed-in also in Photobook Philippines. This website requires your PC to install their customized software based on you allocated country (this is important).
4. The voucher is designed only for a minimum of 40 pages (11-in. x 8.5-in. Medium Landscape Imagewrap Standard Hardcover). Since all of my travel book exceeded that agreement, I paid appropriate charges on every pages.
5. After I edit all my photos on their software provided, I uploaded it on their site as required and paid the remaining billing by credit card. For Photobook with 52 pages, I paid PhP1,450 with 76% off considering its regular price of PhP4,000 on 40 pages only.
6. There will be a confirmation email for successful upload and notification when will the book be received. I think its around 2-3 working days maximum only.
