Your blog printed as a real paper book!
Do you have a blog? Well, do turn it into a book! Sure, but what for, will you ask?
3 years ago, when BlookUp began its journey into the world of blogs and books, we were convinced that nothing could replace real paper books. Being able to hold in your hand the contents you wrote with caution and passion… What a thrill! Just give it a try! Once you receive your blook, when you can go through its pages, you will see all the hard work put to it through all these years. Share it with your friends and see how they get into it: It’s concrete, they can touch what you’ve accomplished and they can relate to it.
Your best creations going from hand to hand!
You book printed on demand with your lunch
A new restaurant has opened in Paris: ZA.
It’s actually a “literary cafeteria” where anyone can come, order food . As well as order a book that’s printed on demand!
An original concept that spoke to our hearts here at BlookUp, we know about printing book on demand from one copy!
Here, you can order a book that exists already (and not customize your own book like we offer) from a catalogue that is about 2000 titles.
Your meal is being prepared at the same time as the book you’ve chosen is printed, and you can then feed your body and your mind in one single place!
Printing a 400 pages book takes 7 minutes, so you can enjoy your break.
Designed by Philippe Starck, and with 328 seats and its terrace, ZA is ZE place to be for all book lovers! Bonus! You can even download the application on your smartphone to see the menu and pay online thanks to the WIFI service.
We love the concept! What do you think about this “literary cafeteria”?

Tell us about yourself
Passionate about basket but also about writing, I opened Hoop Diary 7 years ago. First, it was a blog hosted on the website basketsession, and it was one of the “star blogs”. Then, the website was closed and I’ve created Hoop Diary on WordPress, to save all my writings.
I’m still very invested in the basket’s world, as a trainer after being Development Director for a minor ligue.
-
What is your blog about?
The first posts was really about my experience as a player and as a trainer, and my thoughts about it. My blog also contains videos of my trainings, it allows me to keep them somewhere.
Then, I’ve wanted to share stories around Toulouse’s basket, before they were forgotten. Finally, Hoop Diary became the website for all the pyrenean basket, some of my posts were shared on other websites.
At last, there are many categories on my blog, including “les routards du basket” (I retrace the steps of big players), “Hoop” (where I highlight picturest grounds). This last category gave birth to my Instagram account.

Why did you decide to print your basketball blog?
I’ve always been fascinated by books, in general. A furnished library is the most valuable thing in my house! Print my blog was the chance for me to keep a paper track of my writings and give body to them thanks to the book. I also intend to publish my own book one day, about the pyrenean basket’s history.
-
How did you know BlookUp?
Thanks to a Valentine’s Day gift! My wife printed my Instagram account, and then I had my blog printed. She’s a blogger too, that’s how she discovered BlookUp.
-
What are the positive points?
The possibility to sort, organize the posts. It’s very easy.
-
How can we improve our service?
More choices for the covers (colors, photos…). Some posts were in two different categories, so it was a little hard to classify them.
-
What do you think of your basketball blook?
The result is good, with quality paper. Regarding the Instagram blook, I think it’s perfect!
-
What does your family think about your basketball blook?
The feedbacks are very positive, it gives a new life to my blog and allows them to dive into the posts again!

Would your recommend BlookUp?

5 TIPS TO CREATE YOUR TRAVEL BLOG AND PRINT IT INTO A BOOK
When you go on a trip, you always want to keep in touch with your relatives and keep a track of those beautiful moments… And the best way to do that is very simple: make a blog and write all about your adventures!
-
Choose the platform
The first step is also one of the most important. To create your blog, you first have to think about the blog platform where you will write your posts. But luckily, there are plenty and you will have the choice! The most famous are WordPress, Tumblr or Blogger but there’s many more. Each platform will allow you to write and present your contents (texts, photos…) in a different way, and you have to choose the one that’s going to match with what you want to do.
-
Write everyday
The next step is also very important : the writing. It’s essential that you force yourself to write a little everyday on your blog, so that you won’t forget the little stories. The consistency of your posts will also allow your relatives to feel close to you and your adventures, like they were with you the whole time! Once you’re back, you will enjoy the little details in your posts that you wouldn’t have been able to read if you hadn’t write about it every day. Of course, you mustn’t write 5 pages per day… But do it a little every night (or morning), you won’t regret it!
-
Make everyone a part of your blog
If you travel with your family, friends or with your lover, the blog can be a nice way for everyone to express their feelings and point of view about the trip. If everyone write on the blog, the final result will only be better and the memories more numerous and beautiful! You can also ask your relatives to comment your posts, so everyone is really a part of your journey.
-
Be a part of a community
Once everything thing else is done, you can connect and talk with other travel bloggers so they can give you advices on how to make the best of your journey! It’s always useful to have the opinion of other people about a destination, activities to do, how to manage your blog… You can meet bloggers from the country you visit (so they can teach you about their culture) or bloggers that have already been to a city and can advise you on what to visit there.

Mother Book : a book that grows with the belly of the future mom !
We’ve just found the perfect gift for your pregnant best friend : a book that lasts 9 months, and evolves at the same time than the future mom’s body. Let us introduce : the Mother Book :
This great idea was imagined and created by the Kishokai obstetric department in Japan, and the advertising agency Dentsu. The main idea is pretty simple : the pregnancy and expectation of a child are very important moments in one’s life, especially for mothers. Why not offer them an object that would evolve with their bodies, giving advices about the child and where they could write all their thoughts ?
Each page represents a week of pregnancy : Mother Book contains 40 beautifully designed pages, with a woman’s chest in 3D that grows in the course of the reading. On every page there is a unique design, that helps understand the status of the baby, but also several blank spaces for the moms to write their feelings, and be able to read them later ! You’re free to use it as you want.
A very nice gift to offer to your kid later : the full summary of his life inside the maternal womb. Here at BlookUp we totally love this idea ! The first book of your child’s life, to be completed later by many more, for example by printing the book of your blog to transpose the first years of his life…
Record : Pauline printed 17 books thanks to BlookUp !
Today we are proud to announce that we have broken a little personal record: the number of books ordered in a single time on our website ! Pauline achieved this, with 17 beautiful travel blooks, that she will share with her whole family thanks to our BlookShop. So, now she’s going to tell us a little more about her adventure…
- Tell us about yourself:
A GUY : Benoît, 28 years old, golf geek and crazy about football !
A GIRL : Pauline, 26 years old, auditor and pastry chef !
- What is your blog about?
Since life is beautiful,
Since “life is short”,
Since nothing from the “grown-ups world” held us back in France (no property, no baby…),
Since spanish is such a beautiful language and it’s so classy to be bilingual,
Since we are thirsty for adventures and life experiences,
Since this project was our dream,
Since it has been on our minds for a long time,
Since there is no “perfect time”,
==> We have decided to go on an 11 months trip in Latin America, and to share it with all our family and friends in a blog !
- Why have you decided to print your blog?
Honestly, we have put all our heart and a lot of energy into this blog! It has really been our travel journal, where we wrote all our impressions, everything that we felt, discovered, saw… So imagining loose it the day where we would no longer pay for the domain name, it broke my heart : we had to find a solution!
A traveller friend told me that her cousin (who is a designer) made her a surprise and printed her blog when she came home, and I thought it was great!
- How did you know BlookUp?
I simply asked the question to Google “how to print your blog?” -thank goodness he’s here!- and BlookUp was the first answer, but also the most satisfying offer. So I’ve jumped on the occasion !

*BlookUp allows you to print your blog, with a minimum work regarding the page setting
