### 5/5 — Photobook

*2026-08-24, version 5.7*

I entrusted my photos, yet again to PastBook  to produce a special memory book for my husband who passed away in August 2025. So many photos full of memories of nearly 30 years together.  I received it today and I’m so happy.

### 3/5 — First One

*2026-08-22, version 5.7*

I thought I was getting the year summarized but only received one vacation.  Also, I thought you were choosing the best pictures.  There are multiple pictures of the same thing and many bad pictures.  I thought the book would be much bigger for the price.  The cover is lovely.

### 2/5 — Ed Martello review

*2026-08-18, version 5.6*

I’m not particularly pleased
1) the binding is very poor and can see it coming apart very easily. 
2) too many doubles included the photos
3) many outstanding pictures were relegated to small pictures wedged in. 
The quality of the pictures is only fair.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-10, version 5.6*

Love PastBook for gifts

### 5/5 — Easy as.

*2026-08-10, version 5.6*

That was so easy and the results were really satisfying. Great job, such good quality.

### 1/5 — Months

*2026-08-10, version 5.6*

Can’t say I’m happy with this book. Yes the images are great, however, the month page is placed inappropriately. So it’s kinda messed up.

### 3/5 — Maine

*2026-08-06, version 5.6*

Picture quality was average, and one completely out of focus.

### 2/5 — Maybe I missed the edit button!

*2026-08-05, version 5.6*

This process was to rushed for me. They started by downloading all my photos. Then they showed the year and when I chose 2025 away they went and off the book was created. There was no walk through unless I missed it.  Not all pictures are book worthy, before I knew it I was unable to cancel or edit. I got a book with photos of my appliance serial numbers  a table I painted, I have four grandchildren, the process chose a picture of one granddaughter as the cover. 
Just was disappointed in the process.

### 5/5 — Japan Trip 2026

*2026-08-02, version 5.6*

Excellent! I made 2 copies, one for my daughter that lived in Japan and one for myself. I’ve had several books made and I love the memories they hold for me!❤️😍

### 5/5 — My summer 2026

*2026-07-30, version 5.6*

This book captured all my families photos perfectly.. I ordered 3 books. Each person loved this!! In C
