How To Give A Book Of Your Texts As A Gift

There are two ways. Make the book yourself from your conversation with them, or give a gift card so they make it from a conversation of their own. Only one person in a conversation needs to make it, so it can stay a surprise.

Can it be a surprise?

Yes. Only one person in the conversation makes the book, and we never contact anyone else in it. You look through every page and approve it before anything prints, and you can take messages out.

What if it should be their conversation, not mine?

Give a gift card. It pays for a paperback or a hardcover, with US shipping, and they make the book from any conversation of theirs, whenever they like. The card arrives by email the same day, or you print it at home. Gift cards never expire.

Which book should I give?

The Unabridged is every message, start to finish, set as a novel: $49 as a paperback, $89 as a hardcover. The Anthology is the moments that mattered, each beside a photo of yours, in a landscape hardcover printed in color, $99. The digital edition, a PDF and an ebook, is $19, and it arrives the same day.

Will it arrive in time?

A printed book takes about two weeks to arrive after you approve the pages, and no delivery date is promised. For a gift that has to be there on the day, the digital edition or a gift card is the sure thing: both arrive the same day.

Can I write something in it?

Yes. Add a dedication when you choose the title, and it is printed on its own page at the front. There are no prices in the box.

Where does it ship?

Within the US only for now, with free US shipping.

If You Want It As A Book
