what is a coffee-table storybook?

A coffee-table storybook is a hardback book with around 40-50 relatively flexible pages, similar to a high quality hardback book by a photographer you might buy in a shop though the pages are thicker, are printed on photographic paper and can lie flat on the page.

The pages of the book are filled with the best photos from the day, set out as it happened. It's more accessible than a traditional, hard page, mounted album which tend to be more bomb-proof, which means coffee-table books are likely to last many years rather than the many decades of a traditional book. This is partly because a coffee-table book is designed to be looked at and well thumbed, opening it up to the elements more. As mentioned previously, I offer the full-size photos on DVDs and to download online so replacement books or prints can be ordered by the couple easily when they want a new one in the future. I also offer a more contemporary hard-page coffee-table album by Graphistudio and a traditional album by Jorgensen, these are described in my service section of my website.
