Ladybird helps you understand a mid-life crisis and how to make it out alive
Your chosen name appears on the cover
Write a special message on the title page
Features original Ladybird artwork
Written in Ladybird’s large clear script
Available as a hardback and measures 12.6 x 17.8cm
When we’re young and plump, we tend to dream of becoming actors, neurosurgeons perhaps, anything is possible. And then, one day, it isn’t. This personalised Ladybird book identifies this foreshadowing as a ‘mid-life crisis’. They’re inevitable. Face it. Better yet, why not gift someone with this vintage Ladybird book to help them get through their mid-life crisis in one piece?
Bounding with page upon page of original Ladybird artwork, the book mimic’s Ladybird’s iconic, large clear script and easy to read format (and, the individual probably needs easy during such a trying time). With the individual’s name on the cover and a message on the inside page, they’ll be armed and ready (maybe a bit saggier than their younger self) to handle a full-fledged mid-life crisis.
How To Personalise Your “The Mid Life Crisis” Book
Personalise with any name up to 12 characters which will appear on the cover of the book. Add a message of 2 lines, up to 40 characters per line which will appear on the opening page. Check your personalisation: accents and other symbols cannot be used unless otherwise stated.
In The Book wouldn’t be here without its terrific customers. That’s why we care about what you have to say.

From finding the book you were looking for to how easy your chosen book was to personalise – every little detail is important, so we can perfect your shopping experience the next time you return!

Great present for a friends 40th birthday. Arrived promptly. Many thanks.

Bought this as a mid-40's birthday present for my brother. Had to throw it in the bin. While the premise was amusing in the pictures it showed in the advert - the detail in the book is pretty horrific - it suggests that the named individual would like to kill themselves, but they are so incompetent they probably wouldn't get it right, they get divorced, made redundant and their life is lonely and depressing.Not the funny birthday present I was hoping for.
I bought this book for my father-in-law's 80th birthday and I'm so pleased with it. I've not yet given him it but I know he will absolutely love it. The prints are so clear considering they're duplicated and the cover is so lovely. I can't wait for his birthday so we can give it to him.

Special gift.
Love this book and the way that facts ate woven into a story with a personal touch. The presentation box makes the book look like an extra special gift. For a child Interested in the stars and planets, this book is great. A bit pricey compared to non personalised books, but worth it to have it contsin a picture and my grandson's name within the text/book. The look on his face was priceless and the added interest due to the personalisation made it a sensational gift.

Not quite what I expected!
Content of book has lots of good interesting content although print is quite small but I was very disappointed that the book is about Glasgow Rangers and is bound in maroon (Heart of Mid Lothian colour) Also the book was personalised. This consisted of a printed sticker which wasn’t even stuck down properly. I expected a bit more for the price I paid.

Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear this.
As you have ordered the A4 size book, this is presented in a brown leatherette cover as standard. We do provide all information on the covers within the production page. We do apologise if this was missed.
As the newspaper that we use is the Daily Mirror, this is an A3 tabloid size. For this paper to fit within an A4 book, the content does have to be shrunk down which does unfortunately make the text smaller than originally printed.
We do apologise for any inconvenienced caused.
If you need to contact the customer service team, please do on 0330 058 0403 or [email protected]
Kind Regards,
The In The Book Team

A beautiful book that made a great present for my newborn baby Nephew. A great keepsake. My nephews name was throughout the book and we were also able to put a personal message in the front of the book. Very pleased with my purchase.

Should be an Interesting Read
The item was exactly what I thought it would be, the downside was that that newspaper has a strong unpleasant odour, I appreciate that it’s 60 years old but it still smells!
