Chrisdel Books are producers of short run, privately published books. As well as our own titles we have produced a variety of books for other people wishing to promote their interests or preserve their treasured memories. Producing books in this way is never going to make you rich, but nothing can be better than seeing your hard work in print.

BOOKS WE CAN MAKE FOR YOU
Memories come in many forms - family history, special occasions, sharing your interests, but how do we keep them alive? Well, normally we take lots of photographs which end up in a not-very-often seen album, or worse still in a box in the bottom of the wardrobe! But what if there were a better way to share these memories with the people that matter? Chrisdel Books will take your treasured photographs, documents and words, and transform them into a proper book printed on high quality semi-gloss paper. The book can be hard backed or soft covered and can contain up to 40 pages (including the covers).

Price depends upon the format (size) of the book, the cover (soft or hard) and the number of pictures you want to include.
