A few pages from a real book



A sample book we made from one photo. The person in it is made up.
Why it works for a husband
After a few years, a husband has the gadgets, the tools and the sweaters. What is missing is a book where your husband stays after everyone has gone home, or captains a crew that is gloriously lost. It is a gift that gets a laugh, and then a place on the shelf.

More on printing the PDF and choosing the photo.
Is this an anniversary gift or a birthday gift?
Both, and it travels well as either, because nothing about the book is dated. It is a story with him in it; the occasion is whatever you say in the message with the link.
Can the kids be in it too?
No — one book stars one person, and we do not draw children. The main character is the adult or the pet in the photograph you send.
Is it a good anniversary gift?
Yes. Paper is the traditional first-anniversary gift and the PDF prints well; for later years it is the surprise that sits beside something bigger.
Can the story be romantic rather than funny?
Some are: the night market and the golden hall are gentler. Most husbands given one here get a funny one, and laugh.
