So pleased with this beautiful book in a lovely presentation box
Really first class service, I had the book delivered 48 hours after my order. I did pay for next day delivery but it wasn’t expensive.
The book took my breath away, it was top quality and so beautifully presented.

Does not look very impressive
Given the cost of this, I expected the book to look a bit more impressive. It’s a very thin paperback book and doesn’t look at all like a special gift, which I hoped it would be. Maybe my fault for not reading all the descriptions properly, but I am disappointed and would not buy again.

Thanks so much for the Moana book
Thanks so much for the Moana book. My niece Eve will love it. It’s the best personalised book I’ve bought without a doubt. But then again, I’d expect nothing less from the masters in Disney. Vivienne

Very disappointed in the book
Very disappointed in the book, misleading certificate on title page looks like a small sticker I could have placed on myself, poor value for money- quick dispatch was the best bit
