How it works

You start it. They fill it. We make it,

No card to pass round in secret, no group chat to chase. Everyone writes in their own time, from wherever they are, and it all arrives as one book,

,

Start the book

Who it is for, and the occasion. It takes a minute, and you can change anything later,

,

Send the link

Everyone adds a photograph and a few words from their phone. No app, no account, about five minutes each,

,

We print and post it

Every page set for you, printed, bound and posted to your door. You never open a design tool,

Claret cloth book, Margaret at Seventy, square format, standing and seen from the front corner
What arrivesA book they will take down from the shelf for years,The school friends, the neighbours, the cousins abroad, the grandchildren who drew instead of wrote. Every one of them on a page of their own, printed, bound and posted to your door,

The pages

Up to four photographs a page, six on a spread, arranged however you’d like,

Everyone chooses how their own page falls — one photograph or four, across the top, filling the page, or beside the words. What they see is what gets printed,

What you get

A hardback with everyone in it, £34.99,

You pay once, at the end, when the book is ready to print. Nobody else pays a thing,

The book, 24 pagesHardback, printed cover, soft uncoated pages. Printed and bound in the UK
£34.99
Two more pagesOnly once more than 24 people have written
£1.99
DeliveryTracked, within 7 working days, anywhere in the UK
£5.99
Or layflat, for something specialPages open completely flat, so a photograph can run across both. Thick lustre pages, £2.99 for each two more. Made in Germany, so allow 10 working days, and the carrier may ask for a small customs charge
from £79.99

24 pages is the smallest book a printer will bind, so eight people cost the same as twenty-four, and any page nobody wrote on is left clean for writing on by hand. After that, pages come in twos. No VAT to add,

FAQs

The things people ask before they start,

How long does it take everyone else?

About five minutes. One photograph and a few lines, from any phone. Nothing to install and no account to make,

What if fewer than 24 people write?

Nothing goes wrong. 24 pages is the smallest book a printer will bind, so the price is the same, and the pages nobody wrote on are left clean for writing on by hand,

How long does printing take?

Within 7 working days to your door, tracked (10 for layflat). Those days start when you pay, not when you start the book — so allow a week or two for people to write, and start about three weeks before the day,

More questions, answered

Is there someone you’d all like to thank, celebrate or send off?

A big birthday, a retirement, a wedding, a teacher, a grandparent at Christmas. Start their book today and send the link tonight — it is the gift they will keep,
