What Makes Wall Street Journal Custom Birthday Book Uncommon

Since its founding in July 1889, The Wall Street Journal has documented the world’s most pivotal moments—from the rise of industries and global conflicts to breakthroughs in science, social change, and the spread of globalization. Now, you can make someone’s birthday part of that storied timeline. This library-bound coffee table book features Wall Street Journal front pages from every year since their birth, personalized with their name and birthdate to create a gift as memorable as the headlines themselves.

  • A meaningful gift whether they're marking a milestone, savoring a significant anniversary, or just gearing up for another orbit around the sun.
  • Select any date, but make sure it's at least one day before your order date—2005 or earlier. The book must have a minimum of 20 pages (maximum of 106 pages).
  • Give this leatherette-bound book an unforgettable touch by personalizing the cover with your recipient's name embossed in shimmering foil on the cover.
  • Complete the set and enhance the reader's experience by selecting the optional magnifying glass.
  • Uncommon Exclusive: Created by our in-house team and only available at Uncommon Goods.
  • Made in Massachusetts.
Note: Wall Street Journal archive files may have gaps, especially for earlier dates. Some birthdates may be missing initial years or have non-consecutive entries due to publishing schedules (e.g., no Sunday editions or Saturday editions before 2005) or incomplete digital records. Archives are available beginning in 1920.

Notes

The book includes only pages from the year of the recipient's birth onward. A younger recipient will have a shorter book. Additional pages featuring noteworthy events on other dates may be added at the end of the book. Please note: The pages in this book were taken from past issues of The Wall Street Journal. In archiving the pages to microfilm, imperfections on the printed pages were repeated, and the process may have introduced additional blemishes. Please note that some front page dates may be omitted on account of holidays, or certain days when there may not have been an issue. Occasionally, damage or other unforeseen circumstances have prevented front pages from being reprinted. In those instances, the front page of the next available issue appears in its place. Once your order is submitted it is entered into production and changes and cancellations cannot be accommodated- we are sorry, no exceptions. - All Orders Final

Perfect Gift for Dad

I gave this gift to my 93 year old Father who is very interested in the stock market and finance. He could not put the book down, he found it very interesting and tells me often about how much he likes it.

A nice idea and keepsake

The book is a fine birthday gift for family or friends. I combined it with a collection of photos of my children, taken over the years. By placing them in the pages corresponding to when they were taken it also serves as a dated photo album for each child. The only draw-back for me is that two of my children have birthdays on or close to national holidays, when WSJ does not publish.

A terrific gift for that "special" birthday.....

A great way to commemorate a special, meaningful "life passage", recalling the major newsworthy events of that special day in the years past. A gift that keeps giving, to be consulted and reviewed many times in the future.

Which pages will be included in the book for a person born December 31? (I don't believe the WSJ publishes on New Year's Eve.)

Verified reply from Michelle

Hello! That's a great question! The Wall Street Journal publishes Monday-Saturday, and while it does not publish on Sundays and federal holidays like New Year's Day, it does publish on New Year's Eve provided it falls between Monday-Saturday.

  • Vero Beach, FL

What does it mean -"only dates prior to today's date in 2004 can be ordered at this time." Nothing for the most recent 20+ years???

Verified reply from Michelle

Hello! "Only dates prior to today's date in 2004 can be ordered at this time" means that the start of the book needs to be before today's date in 2004, the book needs a minimum of 20 years to be created. All books will include all the available years, from the date you select to the current year.

  • Houston, TX

Hi, so if the person's birthday is September 18th, would I have to order it on September 19th in order for it to have this year's front page?

Verified reply from Iriscelis

Yes, in order to have the current year included we recommend ordering on that date or the day after.

Is there a way to customize the cover to different wording?

Verified reply from Monique

Hello, the book cover is not customizable.

  • undisclosed

If we use Jan 1 for example, would it be that day every year or a random day from every year?

Verified reply from Maxienne

The book would feature the front page from January 1 of every year from the birth year selected.
