How it works

  1. Choose the book and the format.
  2. Write your message, or upload your own handwriting.
  3. We print it for you and send it to your door.

What is the traditional first anniversary gift?

Paper. It stands for a new marriage written on a clean page. Books, letters and journals are the classic paper gifts.

Can I write my message in another language?

Yes. The message prints in any language and any script, exactly as you write it.

How long does a personal book take to arrive?

Each book is printed when you order it. The delivery time for your country is shown at the top of this page, and again before you pay.

Can I return a book with my own message in it?

A book with your own message is made for you, so it cannot be returned except for a printing fault.

Can I give a year of the library as a gift?

Yes. We email the recipient a code on the day you choose, and the year never renews.
