I suppose my expectations of Image Wrap where to receive a beautifu, matt finish, perfect fine art book as printed in Japan - it is not like that, but also not too bad considering the cost, I woud give it 7 out of 10. It's probably more like a good design studio, client mock-up. Print quality is fine, vibrant and spot on.Matt finish is semi-gloss and spoiled by surface of base card, not smooth enough.Edge wrap is bad - not tight enough and can be pushed in, it's wobbly and crickly, will damage more in time.Matt lamination comes away at creases, can only get worse.First and last 'white' pages just look like cheap paper, not a good start.I don't think individual pages will come out as there are huge stitches to be seen but the inside pages may work away from the cover in time.Otherwise - absolutely fine, I'm sure only an experienced graphic designer would pick up these issues, afetr all these are custom hand made items!  I suppose my expectations of Image Wrap where to receive a beautifu, matt finish, perfect fine art book as printed in Japan – it is not like that, but also not too bad considering the cost, I woud give it 7 out of 10.
