Portrait Book

Portrait books are perfect for stories for older children because they can accommodate more text and still have exciting illustrations. Our portrait books come in two “flavors”, hardcover and paperback, and A5 and A4 sizes.

Landscape Book

Landscape books are great for full-page illustrations. You can still have quite a lot of text but this format makes the pictures stand out. The landscape books can be printed as hardcovers, layflats or paperbacks, in A5 and A4 sizes.

Square Hardcover Book

Square picture books are ideal for toddlers and children between 3 and 5 years old. They are a great transition from board books. Our square books come as standard and layflat hardcovers in two sizes.

We Ship Wordwide!

All BookBildr books are produced on demand, which means the delivery time depends on both manufacturing time and shipping. Typically, your books will be printed in around 5-7 working days outside of the holiday and back to school seasons, and delivery time depends on your location and the location of the printing facility (we print in the USA, Canada, Australia, EU, and India). Below, you can find estimated shipping times and cost. All shipping time estimates are for outside of peak seasons.
