Do you know a modern history enthusiast? Why not treat them to this 75th anniversary edition WW2 pictures book? In it, you’ll find a delectable array of visual newspaper coverage, which captures the era’s true zeitgeist and provides an unrivalled window into the lives of those at the time. Uncover a fascinating record of events as they unfurled—from the dark and ominous days of 1939, in the lead up to the war, to the long-awaited downfall of the malign Nazi regime five years later.
The book opens with a series of photographs, showing British troops prepare for the imminent declaration of war. With these depictions, the mood and perception of the British people at the time is captured and immortalise. Other major events featured include, but are not limited to, the North African campaigns, the fall of Hong Kong and Singapore and the bombing and surrender of Japan. Personalise this book with any name and personal message, both of which will appear on the title page; you also have the option to gold emboss the recipient’s name on the front cover. An evocative and educational insight into the Second World War, this is the perfect gift for a budding historian or modern world history enthusiast.
How to Personalise the 75th Anniversary Edition WW2 Book
Personalise this book with any name up to 22 characters and a personal message up 150 characters, both of which will appear on the title page. You also have the option to gold emboss the recipient’s name on the front cover.

DONT DO BUILD A BEAR U ONLY THE BOOK!
DONT DO BUILD A BEAR U ONLY THE BOOK!! SCAM
wasted 28 pound on this for my sons birthday very disappointed and angry.
Would not recommend to anyone.
Very arrogant on the phone when calling to ask about the item. And email reply wasn't any better.
Save your money and either build a bear on the website or go elsewhere like etsy or not on the highstreet.
If i could minuses stars I would as even 1 is to much

The book itself is absolutely beautiful…
The book itself is absolutely beautiful and wonderfully illustrated. I couldn’t upload a photo onto the website, it kept sticking, so I ordered the book on a bank holiday Friday evening and it was confirmed at 2000h same night.
I e mailed in the book with a photo attached the following morning Saturday at 0730h and asked if anything could possibly be done to attach it. I received a reply that it was too late, already in production, nothing could be done. In 12hrs ? I was really disappointed - I wish I had contacted CS before placing my original order.
Also I assumed Alice would somehow be woven into the stories as advertised “in the books” other stories but The Ultimate Princess Collection does not offer this. Your child’s name appears on the top of each page but they are actually not IN the stories.
If I ordered again I would be much more aware of what is actually on offer.
In The Book does not mean IN every story, so read carefully before ordering as I’m sad to say I didn’t do.

Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear this.
Once a customer has confirmed their order, it is not always possible to add/amend personalisation, as our Production Team are currently working 24 hours a day to keep up with the demand on orders and a photo does have to be uploaded at the time of ordering. With your order, unfortunately your book has already been printed and therefore amendments could not be made, which we do apologise for.
In regards to the Child’s name throughout the book, unfortunately this is not possible with every book that we sell, however we do make it clear within the product information. With the book that you have ordered, we do confirm that your child’s name will appear on the cover and on each page. We do apologise if this information was missed at the time of ordering.
As a gesture, we have applied a 10% discount to your order, which has been refunded to you. We hope will help towards rectify your dissatisfaction.
Please do accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kind Regards,
The In The Book Team

A great cover and fronts piece.
A great cover and fronts piece.
However, Some of the early pages were unreadable even with glasses and a magnifying glass in use. Some of the pages of the 1960s were unreadable as well, and one was even shown to be torn and disheveled as if lifted from a dustbin.
