Hey Mommy Bears!
Today we are back on the Qeepsake trail, and we are going to discuss how much it costs to get the physical book printed once you feel like you have enough entries!
We’ve ordered several books from Qeepsake over the years, and we must say, they are pretty high quality!

Let’s get to it!
Ordering the Qeepsake Book

The Qeepsake website states that the minimum amount of entries you need to have in your journal to order the book is 20. You can only order books if you are on a paid plan, and the book will cost you extra beyond your subscription fee. Two different kids cannot be combined into one journal at this time, so sorry for your parent with multiple kids.
The turnaround time after you order your baby book is 6-8 weeks. Unfortunately you don’t have control over the layout of your book. It seems like you get one to three entries per page, depending on how much you wrote, and whether or not you included an image. The books are printed in the date order of your entries, and there is no option to preview them before shelling out your money.
The Cost of the Qeepsake Book
The current cost of the book is $19.99 for the first 30 pages of a softback book. You can also get a hardback of 30 pages for $39.99.
On the high end of page count, you can go up to 300. This will cost $181.99 for a softcover and $296.49 for a hardcover.
I don’t know about you, but 300 pages would be a monster book.

My Thoughts On Getting A Physical Qeepsake Book
Since this article was first published, we’ve had Qeepsake sponsor us to order 3 different books to try out their system.
It was very easy to use, and we love having a book of memories that was so easy to put together.
We made one for our newest baby, our family adventures in 2021, and our Christmas advent adventures.

I would love to know if you have ordered a book. I just recently started using Qeepsake. I absolutely love the concept of it, but I’m curious to see how expensive the book is going to be. I have about 60 entries so far (most of them with photos). Will they shrink to fit based on the number of pages you want? Or are you required to purchase more pages? The sample book shows only 2 text entries and one photo on a page. If this is the case, my book is going to be so many pages that it would be ridiculously expensive. I’m also interested to know about the print quality. Looking forward to your review!
Hey Ehren!
No we haven’t ordered a book from Qeepsake yet. The site is now claiming 1-75 journal entries can fit within a 20 page book, which is down from the 85 I stated in my article that they were reporting before.
These books do seem prohibitively expensive at the moment. If I remember correctly, when Jeff was on Shark Tank in October of last year he stated that only 4 parents had ordered books at that point. Easy to see why at these price points.
I am still working to build up a good journal before I buy a book, but I do plan on doing so and reporting not only on the finished quality, but the process of creating a book as well, since there seems to be no exact documentation on this that I can find.

Thanks for your comment!
Still need that Qeepsake book? I have a contest going on! A free year of Premium and a $40 book credit! https://mommybear.org/qeepsake-membership-giveaway/
I have 575 entries. ( I’ve tried to answer the questions every day. They quoted me $115 for the soft cover book. Need to go back and see if I can dwindle down some of those entries
It seems to me like the Qeepsake books may be a little pricier than other online baby book options, but I think they are still nailing down their process for book creation.
I would love to know whether it’s possible to print only a certain range, e.g. print 2018 entries at the end of this year and then skip 2018 entries when printing 2019 next year. I’m really into annual albums to keep size manageable.
I was wondering if there was any update on this post. Did you order the book? And if so did you think the quality, layout, etc. was worth it?
Hi I am wondering if there was any update to this post, looks like its been several years. But it still hard to find examples of finished books
