What Does A Text Message Book Look Like?

It looks like a novel. Pages of type, every message in the order it was sent, with each person's name beside what they wrote. You can choose Text Bubbles instead when you make the book.

What does a text message book look like inside?

It is set as pages of type, like a novel. Every message is there in the order it was sent, with each person's name beside what they wrote. It reads from the first message to the last.

Does it have chat bubbles?

Yes, if you choose Text Bubbles when you make the book. Otherwise the pages are set like a novel, as type with each name beside its message. Text Bubbles sets each message in a bubble, the way a phone shows it. It takes more pages than the novel layout, so it is an add-on, and you see what it adds to the price before you pay.

Is it a book of screenshots?

No, it is not screenshots. Even when you send screenshots, the messages in them are set as type and are not printed as pictures. If pictures of the screen are what you want, a photo book of screenshots is the other route.

What does the cover look like?

You pick the title and design the cover. A dedication, if you add one, prints on its own page at the front. See cover and dedication.

Are photos, voice memos and emoji in it?

Emoji print, in grays unless the book is printed in color, and photos and voice memos are marked where they were sent. The book is words only, so a photo is not printed and a voice memo is not written out.

How thick is it?

That depends on your conversation. 700 pages are included in every book, and a longer conversation carries on in a second book as numbered volumes. You see how many books yours makes before you pay.

Can I see my own pages before I buy the printed book?

You look through every page before anything prints, and nothing prints until you approve. Those pages are your book as it will be printed. It comes as a paperback, a hardcover or the digital edition.
