Personalized books

Personalized books

A personalized book is a book that is created specifically for someone, containing personalized text, illustrations, and/or variables, based on the characteristics of that person.

Personalized books are typically created for children, and contain light-hearted and educational story lines. However, personalized self help books for adults are becoming available. These books are very effective in delivering their message in that each book has the reader's name embedded in the text. They have recently entered the market due to recent advancements in technology and digital printing.

New technology has allowed publishers to personalize books using unique illustrations that emulate the appearance of a child in digital format. This results in books with unique illustrations throughout the entire story, personalized to a specific child.

Production

Personalized books are printed through a digital press that allows every sheet of paper coming out of the press to be completely unique every time. This technology allows creating and printing books with unique content on every page. With digital presses that can now print full colour variable images, books can also contain unique imagery.

Most personalized books are ordered online. Through interactive websites, consumers can choose from thousands of variables to personalize the text and images of the books.

Applications

Personalized books are an innovative and unique gift idea. Online purchasing of personalized books facilitates fast and convenient shopping for busy parents, family and friends who don’t have time to rummage through shelves in a bookstore.

Personalized books also promote reading, education, and literacy to children. Presenting children with a book about themselves will grab their attention and encourage them to read more often. This style of book can further boost self-confidence in children who read stories about their own courageous adventures.
