I finally got these in yesterday, some ZNO Mini Accordion 3 x 3″ (8 x 8 cm) books. You can also get them in vertical format in 3.5 x 2.5″ size.\u00a0 With the Pro price I got them for $4.50 each.\u00a0 The shipping cost and time has been a bit more than normal, but what else is new in 2025?<\/p>\n

I wanted to do a test run of these mini books to see if they would be good cost effective gifts or promo material that I could leave behind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I opted for a cream linen cover, and it comes in a plastic case and that in turn is shipped in a plastic bag.\u00a0 Not bad packaging.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The “main” side of the book has 6 views, and the reverse side has 4 views.\u00a0 There are many cover material options.\u00a0 If you opt for the hard cover option you can put a photo on the front\/back of the book.\u00a0 There’s only one paper choice, Lite Paper Art, and the printing method is ink jet\/giclee.\u00a0 I would say it’s pretty good.\u00a0 Obviously if you get up close you will see the printer dots, but the color and blacks look nice.\u00a0 The quality is better than any traditional press printed books (i.e. laser printed Office Depot, et al)<\/p>\n

The mini book stretched out is a foot and a half, but collapses quite nicely, and looks good on a bookshelf.<\/p>\n

So here’s the bulk of my first test order: 4 3×3″ mini accordion books that I plan on leaving behind at a venue so potential clients have a look or even keep.\u00a0 It’s a bit of a pricey business card, but obviously not much in comparison to most grown up expenses.<\/p>\n

Here are the mini books next to compact cameras for a size comparison.\u00a0 These are definitely small enough to keep in the bag next to my other show and tell books.<\/p>\n

Will I order more? Of course! The price is good for me, as the creative potential is quite high. Besides photobooks you can give to friends, here are other things one could make:<\/p>\n
