Great job on the 1934 newspaper
I ordered a newspaper from 1934. I was amazed how easy it was and well it was preserved and packaged. The only issue was shipping. The shipper told me I'd receive the shipment on a Wednesday, then it was delayed until Friday and then Monday (I was pissed) even though I'd paid for expedited shipping. Ultimately, it was delivered on Friday - just overcommunication by the shipper seemed to cause my angst.

VERY disappointed with image quality
VERY disappointed with the quality of the newspaper reproductions (NY Daily News, 1962-2023). Images are out of focus and barely legible. Contrast is TERRIBLE (and easily correctable, yet they didn't do).
I realize that the older stuff is from microfilm, but I've never seen microfilm this consistently poor. But even some of the newer images are pixelated and poor (from 2000 and 2023).
I reached out to their tech support, and I sent photos of some bad pages. They gave no useful response.
Not recommended. F-

Unique gift, excellent service!
I ordered the Cowboys History book for my stepdad's birthday. When I tell you this guy has everything, he does ...EXCEPT THIS!!! I knew this was the perfect gift for him and it's different from the normal gifts people give nowadays. I'm all the way in the US and the shipping was right on time no issues at all! so grateful to have found your business and may God continue to bless your business to continue to reach more!!

Easy to order
Easy to order, and made a fabulous gift. By a quirk of fate, I have found a brother after 66 years that I never knew. This was the perfect birthday gift that covered the last 67 years and he loved it! I'm so glad I found you!

Fun and unique gift to look back in time
My grandfather turned 94 years old and I bought him this for his birthday. Everyone seemed to love looking back at the articles! It’s really cool how it is presented, and it comes with a certificate of authenticity! Super cool I would highly recommend it As a unique gift.

The front page headlines didn’t include significant events in certain years (1930s to present day), just general news which was a let down especially for a 90th birthday gift which spans 9 decades worth of important events through history.

Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear this.
We can see that you have ordered the LA Times Birthday Edition Newspaper Book. This book consists of the front page of the LA Times from your requested date, and then that day every year, until last year. Unfortunately we do not have any control over what was printed on March 29 every year, however, you have received the product as advertised.
