A Fascinating Time Machine
I found it absolutely fascinating to see history unfold one year at a time on my date of birth! It's not just the headlines . . . it's the day-to-day kind of news stories (politics, entertainment, sports, etc.) that were particularly interesting to me.

Perfect gift
My order was processed and arrived quickly. The newspaper was in great shape. My dad cried when he opened it and realized what is was.

Book did not arrive
Still waiting my order. Wrote to you two days ago, because FedEX said label was manually filled and YOU must call to ask for the book to be delivered. I can not do the claim. Still waiting for your answer. No update on FedEx since 3.16.24.

Awesome gift for a history buff
The newspaper was in pristine condition (given its age) and came in a protective plastic sleeve, exactly as advertised. My husband was delighted to receive this historical artifact for his birthday.

The quality of the 60 year old…
The quality of the 60 year old newspaper was very good, but the shipping delays were not understandable - 2 weeks past expected time. So order early!

Disappointed
I was excited when I found this book for a 60th birthday gift. When I placed the order, I paid $21.99 for expedited shipping - “delivery between 3/14/24 & 3/15/24”. I received the package 3/18/24 and the cover was blue not green like I ordered. I have emailed customer service because I don’t think I should have to pay the expedited shipping charge and to tell them about the wrong color. I have not heard back from them yet. I am disappointed with my experience with this purchase. I will NOT be ordering from here again and will NOT recommended this to anyone.
