Blurb prints custom photo books, paperback and hardcover books, magazines, notebooks and wall art, with free design tools and options to self-publish and sell your work.
Every order is printed to your own design, so there are no returns or refunds, which makes the 30% off email sign-up offer the main saving to line up before you order.
Blurb aims its services at photographers, businesses and other storytellers, and its catalog runs from layflat photo books to journals with dot-grid, lined, blank or square pages. Projects can be designed in a browser-based editor, the free BookWright desktop app, plug-ins for Adobe InDesign and Lightroom, or by uploading a finished PDF.
Books are printed on demand, one copy or many, with volume discounts from 10 copies and a dedicated team for bulk runs of 100 or more. Authors can sell through an Instant Store link, the Blurb Bookstore, Amazon or Ingram's network, and a print API lets other apps and websites add book printing. Blurb delivers to more than 70 countries and territories.

Sign up for Blurb's email list while you're still designing, so the 30% off offer is waiting when the book is ready.
Blurb doesn't refund custom orders, so proof every page and cover before you pay; a discount can't fix a typo after printing.
If you're ordering 10 or more copies of the same book, price the order both with quantity pricing and with your code, then keep whichever total is lower.
Printing takes 4-5 business days before the shipping speed you choose at checkout even starts, so add both to any gift or event deadline.
You also have about an hour to cancel if you spot a mistake.
If your Blurb code doesn't work
Minimum order: "$30 Off $75+ Orders" needs an order of at least $75; "30% off Your Order of $30 or More" needs an order of at least $30.
New customers only: "30% off First Order for Young Writers" is for a first order.
End date: "$30 Off $75+ Orders" ends Dec 31, 2026.
Printing several copies of the same title is where Blurb's pricing shifts: discounts start at 10 copies, and 100 or more moves you to bulk printing service.
For a text-heavy project, a paperback from US $3.99 costs far less to start than a photo book from US $12.00.
Gift cards are covered by Blurb's policies, which suits someone who wants to design their own book.
Report any printing damage within 30 days of receipt to get a replacement rather than paying twice.
