The book
Here’s exactly what you get
The images below show real books fresh off our presses, not mockups.
My heart beats fast. The carousel horses turn just there, under the glowing bulbs. Grandpa Georges walks beside me on the gravel. “Look how it shines, Capucine!” he breathes. I want to catch the galloping horse.
- Illustrations span both pages: the image crosses the fold, not framed.
- The printed album is portrait format, 21 × 28 cm, with 32 interior pages. The PDF version has 13 illustrated pages.
- The PDF is downloadable once you’ve approved everything; then the book goes to print.
You’re in control
You approve each page. Only then do we print.
No surprises when your package arrives: you review the story, see every illustration, and request corrections as many times as needed.
You review the story
The full story is sent to you before any illustrations. A misspelled name, a passage to change? We rewrite it.
You see every illustration
All illustrated pages, one by one. A face that doesn’t match, an outfit that’s different? We regenerate the affected page.
We print once it’s perfect
Your approval triggers printing. The book goes to the printer exactly as you approved it.
Why is a personalized book the ideal long-distance gift?
When family is scattered across the globe, gifting becomes a logistical headache. A Fabolia personalized book elegantly solves that problem. Set up the book from Tokyo, New York, or Sydney in minutes, proofread the story, approve each illustration: the PDF is downloadable as soon as you confirm, ready to email your family in France without waiting for a package. Distance disappears.
For those who prefer a physical gift, our printed books ship to many countries. Both softcover and hardcover are sent via our international partner. No complicated customs, no hidden fees. Your gift arrives directly to your loved ones, wherever they are.
A personalized book is also a powerful emotional link when living far from family. An expatriate grandparent sending a personalized book to grandchildren keeps the bond alive despite the distance. The child associates this beautiful book with grandpa or grandma, and each reread is a moment of emotional connection across the miles.
The PDF at €14.90 is the zero-delay solution: buy it in the morning, the child reads it that evening. Available in 6 languages (French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese), the book adapts to the host family’s language. Printed versions (€29.90 and €39.90) come with international shipping.
