What's in this book?

This coffee table book opens with the front page from the day the recipient was born – followed by the cover story for every birthday since. A journey back in time through world affairs, politics, sport, fads, fashions and everything else that defined the era each time they were blowing out their candles.

The Daily Mirror has been one of Britain’s best-selling newspapers since the 1970s. With its variety of topics, vibrant photography and of-their-time advertisements, it provides a glimpse into the moods, mindsets and milestones of the past like no other publication.

Archivist insight: We reproduce these newspaper articles from scan archives. In some cases, there’ll be blemishes and the reproduction quality might not be as clear or precise as it was in the original paper.

Personalised Your Life in Headlines Newspaper Book FAQs

How long will this book take to arrive?

Each of our orders is printed on demand, made special just for you and the reader you’ve created it for! Typically, it takes 1-3 days for our workshops to receive, make, and finally hand each order over to the postal carriers for delivery.

What name can I enter in the personalisation?

Enter the name as you wish it to be printed on the book. You have a maximum of 13 characters for the first name and surname – which is optional. Please only use standard characters that may be part of someone's name. This include accents. Make sure to double-check your spelling.

Do you include every single headline? Whatever the subject matter?

We do. We don’t edit history. Unless there was no newspaper produced on that day we include the headline whatever it is. We think that every headline is an important piece of history, and to skip over the not-so-nice ones would mean tampering with the story.

What's the earliest date you can accommodate for a Mirror 'Just for You' Book

We can make books with any date from 1920 onwards (and we set the latest ‘start year’ as 1998 - as earlier than this would mean a very slim book!). Before this date, the quality of the newspapers gets a little patchy as they’re so old. The book will include headlines up to the last month: so if the chosen date is 12th August 1971 and you order a book on the 13th September, your book will have a page from every year including this year.
