Update:Now this photo book company is called as Zno.If you are looking for Zno Photo book review,still this review is valid as both are the same companies.(Only a name change) This Zno Photo Book review also features Zno Layflat, 20 pages, 6×8, hard photo cover book.which I bought for $5 trial offer.
I really like making photo books for my son’s events. With my experiences so far, I found that photo books are durable and a quality way to keep photo memories in one place than creating an album with printed photos.
Earlier I created photo books with montage and Blurb. If you read my reviews on Montage Photo Book which I made for his 1st year memories and the Blurb Photo Book review for his first month, you’ll see how much I am into creating photo memories. I know most moms love to be creative with their kids.
Now my son is going to be 2 years old and for me it is so fast. I still remember his 1st birthday party. Suddenly when it is time for planning his 2nd birthday, I found I still haven’t created a photo album for his 1st Birthday.
Finally, I ended up creating a photo book for his first birthday with Artisan State. Actually I searched on Google for photo books and found Artisan State. I also found that they have a good offer these days. That is for new customers, they can order their first photo book for just $5.Quite a bargain price, right? If not, their usual price starts from $30.Another interesting thing is their shipping charges. It is only $5!
So, here is my Artisan State Photo Book Review which I only paid $10 including shipping charges.(Also read our Mixbook Photo Book Review)
(Disclaimer: This is not a free product for me. I paid $10 for both book and the shipping cost. This post is entirely to share my experience and about the offer with others who read this post)
The offer price applied to a Layflat, 20 pages, 6×8, hard photo cover book. There are other items also available for $5 trial offer such as Little Black Book and Wood Custom Frame.
For birthday photo album, 20 pages are just fine. Their software is easier to use and there are several page layout options. So, I could arrange photos in different styles.
In first two pages, I used 10 photos which show the details and decorations of the party. Actually I expected to see very small and unclear images in the photo book. But once I received this book, I found very clear images even those are very small.
Other than that, photos are very clear and neat. Layflat option makes it easy to go through the book. Each page is thick enough and seems these are durable.
Overall, I really like with this Photo book purchase. If you are looking for making a photo book, why don’t you try their $5 trial offer? (for a limited time period)

How to Save Money from your photo books?
Here are some of my tips on how to save money or how to buy photo books for really cheap rate.
Once you visit your photo book company,sign up with them and start creating your photo book.If you are in rush ordering your photo book,then search in Google for coupons and promo codes for the said company which you created a photo book.
If you can wait for about 1-2 weeks,then you may able to earn more than 50% discounts in most of the time.
When you sign up with Newsletter ,you will receive their deals and coupons daily.Grab the best deal and order your photo book for really a bargain price.
Just imagine creating a quality and large size photo book for around $30,but ordering the same book for $15!That sounds great when the book is larger and when you have enough space for all your photos with attractive layouts!
I do this all time.
I seriously need to create a photo book, I have so many great photos I’ve taken of my girls in my camera and I want to preserve those memories forever. #ProductReviewParty

Thanks for the comment.
I love the idea of a photo book and I have never really got around doing this. Recently, I reviewed several options but I wasn’t really sure if it was a good deal. This article is really helpful and i’ll surely take a look at Zno
I found that now they offer a free photo book instead of trial price.It can be a great deal to try a photo book!
my wife is obsessed with these kinds of books. I am reluctant to share this with her hahaha. Thanks for sharing!
oh I guess she would love this post! 🙂
I love making photo books… I usually do one a year and send it out to grandparents for xmas gifts!
Making photo books is really interesting.I love that.For me it is a great way to go through old memories of the year! 🙂
I never thought about signing up for a newsletter to get coupons. That is a great top as photo books can be expensive!
Usually I create few photo books each year.Coupons are great way to save money.Even last week,I ordered 2 books using buy 1 get 1 free deal.Usually Mixbook offers more coupons and promotions frequently.
I am still trying to finish my son’s 1st year photobook .. he will be 2 in June haha. I need to get to it and this is great inspiration.
haha That was same with me.But,lately I received offers for photo books.So,I could make books without being late.Hope you will complete the photo book of your son soon! 🙂
I used to create photo books when my little guy was little and started to do so less and less as we had our daughter. They are so sweet and a great memory!
