Everything you ever wanted to know about our books – and more!

Photobook sizes

Despite the upheaval in mid 2024 affecting a number of much loved Australian photo book producers, we are pleased to let you know that Cahoots are still able to offer a great range of curated products from our partners. We have tested a number of suppliers and now offer a select range of products that meet our value, quality and feature thresholds. Note that delivery timeframe varies according to product range.  See below for more information on our product ranges and the differences between individual photo book product lines.

Whichever type of photo book you select, you will be supporting a W.A. small business!

Our EVERYDAY photo books offer excellent value

Through our global fulfilment partner, we are able to pass on the savings made possible by higher production volumes and consistent quality. Our EVERYDAY range of photo books are great value and include postal delivery to your street address (no P.O. Boxes!).

Our enhanced LAYFLAT books offer improved binding

Through our Australian fulfilment partner, we are able to offer a superior range of layflat photo books. These books are printed on 300gsm panoramic seamless paper and due to our partner's economies of scale, are priced slightly less than our now discontinued locally made hinged 216gsm layflat photo books.  Thus we now offer improved quality at a lower price point. See table below for a comparison with our new Premium Layflats.

Our new PREMIUM LAYFLAT books offer superior quality with more options

These books are printed on 400gsm matt or lustre panoramic seamless paper. This stock allows content to be placed across left and right pages as desired without any visual discontinuity.  They can be configured with a matt or gloss laminated printed cover. Alternatively you may select a fabric cover that can optionally be enhanced with foil lettering or photo inset (surcharge applies).  A great choice for professional photographers or those who want the very best photo book quality.
