Every size, drawn to scale

Size changes the price of the whole book by a fixed factor: nothing is priced twice. Below, each cover is drawn at its real relative size so you can see what you are actually choosing between.

Choosing

Three rules that settle it in a minute

1

Match the shape of your photos

Mostly phone photos held upright? Portrait. Mostly scenery and group shots? Landscape. A genuine mix, which is nearly everyone: square, because it crops both fairly.

2

Decide where it will live

A coffee table can carry a 12 × 12. A shelf beside other books wants 8 × 8. Something posted to twelve people wants the 6 × 6 mini, because postage and price both drop.

3

Stay consistent year to year

If this is going to be an annual book, pick the size once. A shelf of matching spines is the whole reward, and switching in year three ruins it.
