This idea was founded by Eileen Gittins in 2005 when she wanted to publish a photography book of her own but did not want to have to spend a fortune to do so.  In just one short year the concepts came together, the universe said yes, and Blurb was launched.  It was the world’s first platform for, printing, publishing, and creating independent books. They vowed to make Blurb better than all the other photo book-publishing companies. 

They use the all premium paper stock, archival-quality binding, and other amazing features to ensure that their books are bookstore-quality.  Within a very short time frame the concept took off and all of the people that were once in the same position as Eileen now had a solution to their problems.  People started making photo books, cookbooks, children’s books, travel books, and an endless variety of novels.  Blurb stands out from other companies due to the foundations laid and fine tuned by true book-making experts.  They allow users access to tools such as BookWright and help you to get your book selling on Amazon is that is what you choose to do.  They strive to help all writers, photographers, storytellers, chefs, and people like you everywhere to make amazing, mind blowing, and professional books together.

Shipping Options

Blurb aims to have stock arrive within 7 to 11 business days unless the order is for over 200 books in which case they estimate that the orders will take an additional 3 days. They offer 4 shipping options to most countries and also have tracking available upon request. They use FedEx, UPS, USPS, and in some instances, the local post.  They offer a Blurb to Amazon option and in these cases the shipping rates will reflect those rates and terms at Amazon.  They recommend a track-able option for your safety due to the fact that if there is no tracking number, they will be unable to assist in the recovery of your package if it were to go missing in transit. Blurb ships to the almost every country in the world.

Return Policy

If you are a buyer and wish to return a printed book because it is damaged or defective you must do so within 14 days of receipt, and you will be offered a replacement or refund. There is not currently a policy for returning eBooks because they can be so easily pirated.
