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

Nice idea and a nice present but....
The book arrived promptly. It is well bound and sturdy with a hard cover. The print winds up being a very small font due to the size reduction from newspaper size to book size. Not all birthday pages were the exact birthday date, which is expected for someone born November 28 due to Thanksgiving sometimes falling on that date. Some years' pages are off by several days even when that year Thanksgiving was not on Nov 28. Strange. Not a deal-breaker for us but is noted for those with birthdays falling near a big holiday.

BEWARE: THE ITEM DESCRIPTION IS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PACKAG
So much for a surprise. I had been planning this for months for my husbands birthday. Well, it was delivered and it big bold letters it says 'Wall Street Journal Custom Birthday Book' on the packaging. I am beyond disappointed. You would think something so heavily advertised as a birthday gift would have somewhat discrete packaging.
Response from merchant
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry to hear that the packaging revealed the surprise you had planned for your husband. We understand how disappointing that must have been, especially after putting so much thought into the gift. We are sharing your comments with the maker to review the packaging for this item.

Interesting gift but if older than 50 years clarity of print
Good for business people who are older except for quality of print

Great Gift Idea for an Avid reader
The quality of the birthday book is excellent. My father reads the WSJ daily and read his new birthday book the first day.

85
Achieving 85 is remarkable in itself, but more so for my love eho has lived a full life from a young cowboy on a California ranch to serving three Presidents as a Presidential appointee. Therefore, this marvelous publication is bringing extreme satisfaction and enjoyment to a life well lived. Thank you for making a publication of this type available. You've chronicled and captured the times throughout this great man's life.

Perfect Gift!
We sent this book to my father for his 74th birthday, and he has been gushing about it ever since. He has subscribed to the Wall Street Journal for as long as I can remember, so he has loved looking back at the front pages of each paper on his birthday for each year of his life. So glad we found this perfect gift for him!

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.

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.

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.

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.
