Measures a striking 12.5 x 15 ”
A unique birthday book personalised with the recipient’s name and a special message
Choose a green leatherette or black leather cover

Let them relive their special day with a unique book full of the biggest headlines from their date of birth, as told through the Seattle Times.
The book features a front-page reprint from the day of the recipient’s birth and then every birthday thereafter. So, if the recipient was born on October 7, 1961, this will be the first page to appear. Following that, it will be October 7, 1962, then ‘63, and onwards to the present day.
The book is made of genuine newspaper reprints that are printed on high quality paper that is made to last. The receiver of this gift can write their own memories on blank pages throughout the book too.
How to Personalize Your Seattle Times Birthday Date Book
You can choose from a royal green leatherette cover or truly make the gift memorable with a luxury black leather cover. Personalize this newspaper birthday book with any date and any name on its cover. Add a special presentation message in the book’s opening pages for added charm. Please note: if you choose to emboss the front cover with the recipient’s name, the date of birth will be printed as standard.
Further Information
This unique personalized book measures 12.5 x 15 ”. Content is taken directly from the Seattle Times. The newspaper provides unrivalled insight into days gone by, through broad journalistic content, photographs and also advertisements.
Please note: This year’s birthday page will only be included in the book if it has been ordered 60 days after the chosen date has passed. There will be very rare occasions when a front page is unavailable for your selected date. For example: No newspapers are printed on Christmas Day, Good Friday and during strikes, in which case a front page from the day after will be used.

Binding is weird but book is BEAUTIFUL! Buy it! :)
I agree with others that the binding makes you feel like it is easy to fall apart. I also agree with others about the pages being a bit frail. However, it's BEAUTIFUL! The binding is what it is, but the pages are from the newspaper so it gives it a better feel than an actual book. The book is much larger than I expected and although it is a bit cumbersome, it makes the content all the more exciting. It needs to be large so you can read the print. The book includes Kobe's early days, his retirement, the crash, and his legacy from the words of his close friends. It's beautiful. I'm actually disappointed that I have to give it away because I bought it as a Christmas gift for a friend. It will take them a long time to read through all of it and it is a pleasant walk down memory lane. I like this book option because I was going to get them a plaque but then they would be forced to look a Kobe everyday which may be rough. This is a nice gift for them to have when they have their friends over and want to reminisce about Kobe. Rest in Power, Mamba.

The most appalling customer service…
The most appalling customer service I've experienced with a company. I've written two reviews already with no resolution. They claim they have given me a discount but that offer is open to anyone making a second purchase. They charged me twice for the same product as I made an error when ordering but contacted them within minutes of realising my mistake. I followed up with a phone call the next day but was told I needed to pay over again. I thought that In the Book could at least meet me half way but no, I was very politely turned down.
Same stock answer every time!

Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear this.
Our Production Team are currently working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to keep up with demand on orders. Once an order has been placed, and the customer has confirmed the personalisation, production may begin straightaway. The Customer Service Team are available Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm and unfortunately this means that we may not be able to amend personalisation. This would have been advised within your automated email you would have received, when sending an email to us.
Looking into your order, this seems to be the case, where your order had already been printed and we were not able to make the changes that you had wanted. As this is a customer error, we are not able to take on the cost to remake the book free of charge. We will however always offer a discount as a goodwill gesture, should the customer wish to place a new order with the correct information.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenienced caused.
If you need to contact the customer service team, please do on 0330 058 0403 or [email protected]
Kind Regards,
