Excellent/Unique Gift
Packaged well and arrived in mint condition. Pages were very durable and not cheaply made. The addition of more articles from various events of the last hundred years+ was a nice addition as well, beyond the 25 years of anniversary headlines. Well worth the expense.

Great anniversary gift if you're not sure what to give
Purchased this for my parent's 50th Anniversary, having NO idea what else to get them. They seemed to really like it. I think they and anyone visiting them would enjoy flipping through, seeing the headlines that we've forgotten about...and it's something that they'll look at periodically because you probably won't get through it all in one sitting. It's funny to see at some point where you can tell the paper went digital because the resolution of the printing is better. There are also some "famous" front pages, at the end of the 50 for their anniversary date...for example, JFK assassination, 9/11, etc. I hadn't expected that (it may have been in the description but I missed it) and it's kind of cool to have those extra pages to look at since the rest of the book is a somewhat random day of the year.

Very large and a great value. Not only is it headline from the exact day were married, but every anniversary day to the present.

Perfect gift for a history buff
This book is what I was looking for in a 50th anniversary gift for my spouse. My husband enjoys reading a newspaper front to back. Finding a bound book of New York Times for the last 50 years is a unique gift for an avid reader like my husband.

Beautiful Memoir!
I ordered the New York Times Custom Anniversary Book for my grandparents. It was a 75th wedding anniversary gift. It was very difficult to think of a perfect gift to give to a couple married 75 years. When I came across Uncommon Goods and this Anniversary book, I knew it would be an original and unique gift that would keep on giving for the entire family to enjoy. The print is a little small for my grandmother with macular degeneration, but she loves the magnifying glass and says its the best quality magnifier she now owns. The family got great joy in watching my grandparents remember memories from the year they got married in 1948 and on.

Anniversary Gift that gets opened repeatedly
Got this for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. Since I've given it to them, I've caught them going back to look at it. Sits in the middle of their living room table and gets viewed by many of their guests. People enjoy being able to flip thru the years to see all the changes. They were not expecting this and really is an "uncommon" gift. Home run gift!

Just The Best Gift Ever
I like most people have been given gifts for my whole entire life to make others happy. Giving the gift from Uncommon Goods, I thought I would take a chance to see if our daughter and son in law would like the memories anniversary book. They absolutely loved it and they told us that in all the 25 years of gift giving, that was and will be the best gift we will have ever given them, and we agree. First time in my husband's and my life that we not only made someone else really happy, but made us extremely happy as well. Thank You Uncommon Goods for making such a wonderful memories .❤️ ❤️

When trying to place an order there is not option to choose a color for the book. What color does the book come printed?
Verified reply from Ashley
Hi! The NY Times Custom Anniversary Book comes Black in color and is printed inside with black & white ink as well as color. The articles in color start with the year 2000.

Is it possible to not have the year printed on the front? I'd like to buy it for an upcoming wedding gift and have it be the last 50 years. Can I just choose 2/8/1960 but not have the month printed on the cover?
Verified reply from Itamar
Hello, great question! At this time, omitting a printed date from the cover is not an option for the NYT Custom Anniversary Book. However, we will pass along feedback :^)

I want to clarify that if I put a date of December 1, 1997 will the book contain all of the pages from 1997 forward or just for the year beginning December 1, 1997?
Verified reply from Michelle
Hi! If you choose the date of December 1, 1997, the book would contain the front pages of the New York Times for December 1st of each year starting with 1997 up to the current year. So if you order after December 1st of 2022 that will be the last page.

Hi! I would love to buy this for my fiance as a wedding gift. To show all the history that has happened on our soon-to-be anniversary. Is it possible to JUST have the past? and not anything onwards?
Verified reply from Cassandre
Hi there, we're sorry but the New York Times Custom Anniversary Book includes only pages from the year of the recipients' anniversary onward.

Hello- just curious if you could include a photo of what the magnifying glass looks like.
Verified reply from Leslie
Hello! If you select the option with the magnifying glass from the dropdown, it will show a picture of the book, with the magnifying glass in the lower right corner.

How many pages are the minimum number of pages? If this is a 10-year anniversary gift, how many "extra" pages are added?
Verified reply from Kailey
The New York Times Custom Anniversary Book has a 20 page minimum, so only dates prior to the day on which you place your order in 2000 or earlier can be ordered at this time. The most current date available is the date on which you place your order. The amount of extra pages added will depend on what the date of your anniversary is.

Do you know the approximate text size of the NY Times reduced page size? I'm just trying to figure out if most seniors wearing glasses will be able to read it without the need of a magnifying glass.
Verified reply from Allison
The type size for all the books varies by the year. More recent pages of the New York Times are formatted especially long and narrow, so these have the smallest type size. The font size can be as as small as Times point size 6 or 7 in Microsoft Word for some pages.

I bought this book for my dad. Can I buy single pages to add on to his book each year?

Hello! We're sorry, we aren't able to add any pages after the book has been made.

Can I add other significant dates to a book for my 25th anniversary? I was wanting to include birth dates of our children and grandchildren, the kids' wedding date and the dates of our parents deaths.
Verified reply from Allison
The book accommodates one date only.

I would like to actually purchase this for our company founder. The "Anniversary" would be the founding date. i.e. company name (in place of couple's) founding date (in place of wedding) before I purchase, is there any "romantic" element to this? I would hate to buy this as a corporate gift if it was romantic. thanks!
Verified reply from Melody
There are no explicit romantic elements. The cover of the book will have the company's name and founding date on it, and the pages in the book are just historical events beginning from the company's founding year.
