AdoramaPix photo books come in a variety of shapes. The shapes are broken down into portrait (taller than they are wide), square, and landscape (wider than they are tall).

Choose the one that you think will best suit the types of photos you have. For example, if you have a lot of vertical photos of people, then a portrait shaped book is probably the best choice. Each shape of book will have several sizes to choose from ranging from small pocket books to large coffee table books. The different sizes available are as follows:

 

PORTRAIT

SQUARE

LANDSCAPE

6x4 (The Providence)

6x6 (Washington Square)

6x7.5 (The Soho)

8x5.5 (The Georgetown)

8x8 (Union Square)

6x9 (The Nolita)

10x8 (The Santa Fe)

10x10 (Times Square)

8x10 (The Beacon Hill)

12x9 (The North Beach)

12x12 (Fifth Avenue)

8x12 (The Chelsea)
