Although I loved the quality of this book and the brilliant personalisation, I did feel the book was a bit thin for an encyclopaedia and was short on content. Even three year olds need to dip in to find out about lots of things and it would have lasted them a few years had it had more content.

Lovely books. Children delighted.

I am very happy with the customer service I received after I emailed to advise of the damaged book. They resolved my query very fast and efficient. I will definitely use THE IN THE BOOK again but little dissapointed with what I ordered.

It doesn’t come as advertised. The hard cover is nothing like the colourful book saying Encyclopaedia. It in fact comes as matt white/off cream.

Lovely book and great quality, however do think it’s a little pricey
Exactly what I ordered and my son on his 50th birthday receiving 50 pages of The Telegraph from 1970 makes a wonderful gift. He says it will always sit on the coffee table.
Looking forward to ordering more for my great granddaughter at Christmas

Great for rugby fans
One of my clients, a keen follower of Wales rugby, had recently had a major operation.
To help cheer him up, I sent the history of Wales rugby to him and he was delighted with it.
