What belongs in the book?
Funny pronunciations, first words, family-only phrases, invented words, favorite expressions, and the short memory or translation that makes each one meaningful.
How many entries can I include?
The Little Edition includes 12 entries. The Full and Family Editions include 20 entries. The Family Edition contains two identical copies of the Full Edition, shipped together to one checkout address.
Do you correct spelling?
No. The family spelling is the point. We preserve it exactly as submitted unless you request a correction during proof review.
What languages can the book use?
Begin by choosing or typing the language you want. English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and Italian currently have verified book-label systems. You may request any other language; we will confirm its exact script, reading direction, fonts, and labels before design begins. Customer words are never silently translated, and an unsupported typesetting case pauses for review instead of printing incorrectly.
Can I include photos or audio?
Not in the launch edition. V1 is deliberately text-only to keep the design timeless and the data collected as limited as possible.
Can I use a full legal name or exact birth date?
Please use only a first name or nickname. Do not submit surnames, exact birth dates, home or school addresses, medical information, or other identifying details.
Will I see the book before it prints?
Yes. Every order receives a digital proof. Printing is manually blocked until the purchaser explicitly approves it.
How many revisions are included?
One consolidated revision is included. Gather all corrections into one response. Additional design rounds may require a separate fee disclosed before work continues.
What size is the book?
The launch specification is a 210 × 210 mm / 8.3 × 8.3 in casebound hardcover with 24 full-color interior pages. Public sales remain blocked until the exact live supplier SKU, current template, and physical samples pass.
When will it arrive?
For U.S. launch orders, estimated production and delivery are 9–13 business days after final proof approval. International destinations open one at a time after live supplier-quote, tax, language/typesetting, service, and physical-sample checks; the current estimate is shown when a market is enabled. Estimates are not guaranteed arrival dates. Intake, revisions, customs, carrier disruptions, and peak periods can extend them, so we do not promise arrival by a specific event date.
Is standard shipping really complimentary?
Yes—in every country we currently serve, the standard shipping option is included in the displayed product price. Only enabled countries appear at checkout. Expedited shipping is not included. Duties, import taxes, brokerage, and destination fees are not included unless checkout explicitly says they are.
Can I send one directly as a gift?
Yes, but the adult purchaser must have permission from the child’s parent or legal guardian to submit the content and must personally review and approve the proof.
Is this a children’s book?
It is designed and sold as an adult-managed memory object. It is not a toy, learning product, speech tool, or product intended for unsupervised child use.
