I have had an exceptional experience working with FutureBook Yearbooks. They have made the yearbook production easier, more efficient and definitely less stressful. We were able to produce a higher quality yearbook at a lower cost to the students. I strongly recommend FutureBook Yearbooks as your publisher.

Our Team
It is a pleasure to work with FutureBook Yearbooks for our school annual. FutureBook is clearly a team of passionate and caring professionals who are veterans in their field. I can see why it is that our school signed up with them when FutureBook started and why it is that we will continue to work with them. FutureBook is a reliable partner in our yearly school annual publication adventure. They deliver proofs, materials and quotes on time and on budget. They are a pleasure to work with and come highly recommended.
I was once skeptical of FutureBook’s offerings; they seemed too good to be true and I figured there would be hitches, so I held off making a switch. Well into my second year with FutureBook, I wish I had come aboard sooner and I can confidently say there are no reasons to terminate our relationship.
I have absolutely no regrets about our decision – everything that FutureBook promised, they delivered!
In all of our dealings with FutureBook Yearbooks, they have demonstrated their desire to provide a top quality product and a top quality service.
The FutureBook representatives I have worked with are very supportive, friendly and knowledgeable. Having them readily available has made taking on this role much more manageable, and I’m not sure I could have done it without their support.
Representatives at FutureBook Yearbooks have been more than willing to “go that extra mile” in order to ensure the best book possible.
Affordability
With FutureBook, we have been able to add in many features that weren’t possible before with our budget.
We are extremely happy with FutureBook’s product, service and pricing. We continue to renew our agreement with FutureBook as they keep providing us with excellent service, a great product and the best price. I would recommend any school to consider switching to FutureBook yearbooks for their high-quality product and cost savings which we have added to our technology budget to support the yearbook program.
In my 10 years as high school yearbook advisor, I have never worked with a company that has provided me with the service, quality and pricing that FutureBook has delivered.
Customer Support
Over the course of the school year, we realized that FutureBook Yearbooks offered much more than just great pricing – its service was fantastic as well. Dana Felske, our representative, is a dedicated professional. Throughout the year, she would be available to visit our school, holding yearbook workshops in the classroom, dropping off files, discussing deadlines, options and any concerns. We were given professional tutorial software for Adobe InDesign, as well as sample yearbooks to peruse and browse the yearbook options available, such as foil or spot-gloss lamination. By phone and email, Dana was always available; my emails were often answered within an hour of being sent – something I really valued with the Yearbook’s tight schedule. Our school’s specific concerns and options were always remembered; in short, we felt like we were the only client of FutureBook Yearbooks.
FutureBook has provided stellar support and reasonable pricing on an outstanding product.
FutureBook offered all the organizational and technical support I needed to complete our yearbook and to be able to look back on the process as a positive one.
Product Offering + Quality
Burnsview Secondary has just received the finest printed yearbook ever in the school’s history, and we are already looking forward with excitement to the possibilities for next year’s book!
We did have one complaint this year from some students though… Our books were too heavy! And that is one great complaint to have! FutureBook’s pages are THICK…and beautiful. There is no comparison between their prints and the competition. The pages are absolutely amazing quality and the print is vibrant and gorgeous. I dare any other publisher to compare products.
It has been refreshing to work with FutureBook, as they have been game to try anything new we came up with. For all ideas we have had so far, in most cases the ideas were executed with a minimal difference in cost. We have made square books, landscape books, included fold-outs, onion skins, and started printing on the back of the end sheets and both sides of the slipcover. It has been refreshing to have this much artistic license, and the final product has always been impressive.
ProofBook
Perhaps the biggest difference, however, has been the hard copy proofs that we receive, including a mock-up of our whole book, cover and all, before the book went to press.
I honestly think that having a ProofBook makes FutureBook better than any other publisher. Hands-down. It’s not even close.
One of the most helpful things that FutureBook provided was a complete bound book of the yearbook in digital color within two weeks of submitting our last pages. This made it easier for several people to proofread and make corrections before the yearbook was printed.
Student Empowerment + Education
FutureBook has helped Frank Hurt Secondary produce some of the best yearbooks this school has ever seen. One of the best changes for us is that the students are now getting great experience using Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. Previously, the students were using online templates and getting little design experience. I have had students flourish in yearbook design and go on to more education in the design area when they graduate.
Sustainability
We have been very pleased with FutureBook’s service and especially the degree of personalization that you offer to our staff and students. The tree-planting program for each book we ordered was extremely well received, especially by the students at Senior School and the environmental stewardship committee.
Training + Resources
FutureBook also provides a wide variety of helpful resources. I have been able to use pre-made lessons on various topics such as photography skills, design and layout. Not only are these lessons a time saver for me, but they have allowed us the necessary tools to build our book with InDesign. Last summer I had the pleasure of attending the FutureBook Summer Yearbook workshop with a student. The trip was fun and educational for both of us, and really emphasized the family-like atmosphere found at FutureBook. We were taught new skills and tricks in various yearbook programs, and were also able to collaborate with other schools, which was extremely valuable for me.
