The Create-a-Book® Concept -
How it works
Creating a personalised story book with Create-a-Book is simple and exciting.
Our easy-to-use software magically weaves personal details into any one of a variety of titles, making the child (or adult) the star of their very own story.
The books are provided to you as a dealer in unassembled format, with a wipeable hard cover, and full colour illustrations.
It takes less than five minutes to make a book!
