The delivery came very well

The delivery came very well. The quality of the print is good and I was happy it came from Europe. I tried IngramSpark before and since it came from the UK, I was charged with an extra tariff. I won't use them again. The book came fully proyected.

Both books look great and arrived sooner than I expected. I probably went a little too close to the margin on the cover of one but it still looks great. Thanks!

Rip iff merchants

I ordered a book which cost just over £60 and the description said it came with an included PDF version but I didn't receive the download links. I tried contacting them but the ticket was instantly automatically closed with no help at all. Seem to be rip off merchants.

Hello Darren,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I understand the concern regarding the PDF download mentioned in the book description, and I would like to clarify how this particular offering works.

Books listed in the Lulu Bookstore are listed by the authors or publishers of those books. Lulu provides the platform and print-on-demand services, but the book descriptions and additional offerings referenced by the author or publisher are their responsibility.

In this case, the PDF download referenced in the book description is offered by the author through their own website and is not a digital download provided through Lulu.com. Unfortunately, Lulu.com does not currently have the capability to offer a bundled print book purchase that includes a corresponding digital download.

I can also see that you currently have a ticket open with one of our Support associates regarding this matter. A member of our Support team will follow up with you through that ticket with additional information on how to reach the appropriate party regarding the digital download.

Best regards,
Michael

Easy to prepare and get the book.

Easy to prepare and get the book.
Suggestions: 1. More pre-formated covers to choose from, 2. Easier to get from private to public (I couldn't find how to do it, 3. When revising a project, show previous choices so no need to re-enter, 4. Reduce lead times for printing and delivering. Thanks for your excellent platform.
