If you’re hoping to give an extra special birthday gift to a loved one this year, then a LA Times Birthday Newspaper Book makes the perfect gift. Created especially for your recipient, this fascinating book is filled with newspaper content from the LA Times.

The book features a front page reprint from the day they were born, and every birthday thereafter. For example, if they were born on October 27 1949, then a newspaper front page from this date would be at the start of the book. Then, a page from October 27 1950 would follow, then 1951, and onwards, right up to the present day. This makes the book ideal for anyone celebrating an older milestone birthday.

Available in luxurious black leather, green leatherette, and softback options. This book is the perfect way to commemorate a milestone birthday. Ideal for the older generation to reminisce, this gift is sure to evoke memories and emotions. Making it the perfect present for a grandparent, parent, or special friend. The Leatherette and leather editions are made with high-quality materials and are very popular thanks to their keepsake value. The Softback version of this book cannot be embossed and offers slightly less customization.
