The paper came exactly as described

The paper came exactly as described. The certificate that comes with it has the note I provided to be included with the paper as expected. My father truly enjoyed reading about what was going on in Texas on the day he was born. I was surprisingly pleased.

The book is beautifully presented and my husband was very pleased with his birthday present. Unfortunately, the early papers/pages, are so poorly printed (perhaps over printed) that they are blurry and unreadable, even with a magnifying glass. The later date papers/pages are readable and consequently very interested.

Great gift for those to have "everything"

My Grandma was turning 95 and needed ABOSLUTELY NOTHING... Instead of sending her flowers AGAIN I purchased this book with Washington Post Front Pages from her birthdays through the years. She absolutely loved it - and so did the rest of the family. There have been MANY interesting conversations sparked by reading through the book.

The Most Unique Gift

I found your site after Goggling, “ What to buy for a guy who has everything.” I ordered your Birthday Book as a gift for my friend’s 65th birthday and it was a BIG hit. Such a truly unique idea, you can be sure it’s a gift that they do not already have!!! Planning on getting your football book next for a Christmas gift for my son in law 🎄
