How custom books differ from photo books
Photo books usually arrange existing photos. A custom illustrated book turns source material into new story pages, covers, and artwork. The result should feel like a book made for the recipient, not just a gallery of uploaded images.
Why DreamInk creates the book digitally first
In the planned flow, a digital review would let the buyer inspect the story and artwork before deciding whether to order a printed edition when that option is available.
Where hardcover delivery fits
Review the digital book first. Check your book’s ordering options for current hardcover availability and delivery details.
