A leaving gift

The one everybody signs is a card that gets recycled. This is the version people actually read on the train home,

We lay out every page, print and bind the book in the UK and post it within 7 working days of your order. £34.99 for 24 pages, plus £5.99 delivery.

Who is usually in it

The team, the floor, the people who sat near them for four years,

What to ask them for

Send one of these with the link. A prompt gets a better page than a blank box,

  • The day they saved you,
  • The in-joke that will outlast them,
  • What you would say if the room were not watching,

The title

Say it to them, not about them.

You write the cover yourself, so it can say anything. This is simply what works,

What it costs

£34.99 for 24 pages, plus delivery. No VAT to add,

How long it takes

Printed and posted within 7 working days, once you close the book,

What everyone else does

Less than 5 minutes: one photograph, a few lines, from their phone,

a farewell book, filling up

How a leaving book comes together,

  1. You start it

    Who it is for, a title for the cover, and the look. A minute, and you get one link.

  2. Everyone adds a page

    The team, the floor, the people who sat near them for four years. Each adds a photograph and a few lines from their phone, in under five minutes, with no account.

  3. We print it and post it

    You see every page first. Close the book, order it, and it is printed in the UK and posted within 7 working days.

Questions people ask,

What does it cost?

£34.99 for a 24-page book, then £1.99 for every two pages beyond that. Delivery is £5.99, tracked, within 7 working days. Leaving the wewrote, mark off the cover is £4.99.

Nothing is charged while the book is being filled. You pay once, at the end, when you have read it and are happy.

Does anyone need an app or an account?

No. You send a link, people open it in whatever browser is already on their phone, write something, add a photograph or four, and that is the whole thing. Five minutes.

You do not need an account either — though you can sign in with your email address to find your books again if you lose the link.

Do I need twenty friends?

No, and this is the thing most people worry about. 24 pages is simply the smallest book a printer will bind, so every book is at least 24 pages whatever happens, at £34.99. Any pages nobody wrote on are printed as clean white pages, ready to be written on or filled with photographs later.

If eight people write, you get eight pages of messages and the rest are printed as clean white pages — with a line on the first saying what they are for. Plenty of people write two or three pages themselves to start it off. A short book with good pages in it is better than a long one padded out.
