You can pick a green leatherette or luxury black leather cover, and the book measures 12.5 x 15”. Newspaper content is taken directly from your chosen publication, and the thickness of the book will depend on the age of the recipient. 

Please note: The birthday page for this year will only be included in the book if you’ve ordered your gift 60 days after the date has passed. There may be occasions, rarely, that a front page for your selected date might not be available. This includes Christmas Day, Good Friday, and newspaper strikes when no papers were printed. When this happens, the book will feature a front page from the day after.

These newspaper reproductions are created from the Seattle Times scan archive and in some instances, there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise vs copying directly from the actual paper itself.
