Description

Did you know, unless you were born on 29th February, you have a 1/365 chance of sharing your birth date with the rest of the world? A person’s birthday is one of the most unique traits that make them, who they are and the key detail that makes The Book About You entirely unique.

Personalise with any Name, Birth Date and Message
An A4 hardback or softback record of the individual’s life
A clever algorithm uses the Birth Date to reveal unique facts
Find out the no.1 albums, the top films and more from the individual’s birthday!
Hardback edition presented in a FREE gift box

Do you know what the greatest invention of your decade was, or who the reigning monarch was when you were born? How about the fashion trends that made your birth decade unique? No. We can’t think of those things off the top of our heads, but The Book About You certainly has the answers, each of which are determined by the Birth Date you pick.

Whether you’re buying for yourself or someone special, the individual will find out everything that has happened in their lifetime, including the most popular films, songs, sport and nostalgic snippets from their past. Important historical events are intertwined with unique facts relating to their birth date, such as every human being shares 99% of their DNA with them, but their make up is entirely unique.

The individual can think of this keepsake as, ‘my life story book’, personalised just for them – the perfect gift for someone who needs to be reminded of how special they truly are. With the hardback version presented inside a unique gift box, this A4 book features the recipient’s Name and any Birth Date embossed on the cover of the book. Including the recipient’s Name throughout the hand-drawn illustrations, there’s over 60 pages of facts all about the individual’s life.

Personalising The Book About You

Personalise the book with the recipient’s Name of up to 22 characters over 1 line. The Name will be embossed on the cover and featured throughout the book.

Choose any Birth Date.

Include a special Message of up to 80 characters over 2 lines, with 40 characters per line. This will appear on the opening title page.

More Information

The Personalised Book About You is available in A4 hardback or softback, with the hardback version presented inside a free gift box.

A beautifully presented book. Great historic memories of the date my friend was born on.

It is a beautiful book and when bought with the gift box, it completes it as a special present. However, it is described as personal and I bought one for my gran and one for my papa and they are almost the same. I imagined more memories to reminisce along the years, instead it is random facts from the year they were born. This is still nice, just a little disappointing as I wouldnt have paid as much for what I got if i knew.
