Was looking for a gift idea for my father and I stumbled across historic newspapers website. I browsed through the different items you can purchase and decided to go with the birthday edition. Ordering was a simple and easy and the customizable design was spot on! Loved the product so much I have order two different versions from their website. Amazing gift. Wonderful company. Highly recommended

Great job on the 1934 newspaper

I ordered a newspaper from 1934. I was amazed how easy it was and well it was preserved and packaged. The only issue was shipping. The shipper told me I'd receive the shipment on a Wednesday, then it was delayed until Friday and then Monday (I was pissed) even though I'd paid for expedited shipping. Ultimately, it was delivered on Friday - just overcommunication by the shipper seemed to cause my angst.
