What is inside
Most of these books are made to be filled in. A memory book asks one question to a page about a single subject, so a grandparent can answer about their school days, their first car or their Sunday lunches without being asked to write a whole life at once. A memoir journal does the same at a smaller size, working through a life in order. Keepsake journals hold a Christmas, a wedding or the years a child was at home. The treasuries are for reading, not writing: King James scripture set large on the page, and classic poetry.
Who gives these books and why
Adult children buy the memory books and memoir journals for a parent or grandparent, then get the book back full. Families who care for someone with memory loss use the memory books at the kitchen table or in a care home, one page at a time. Couples buy a keepsake journal at a wedding or a first Christmas. The scripture treasuries suit a reader who finds ordinary print too small. All of them are the opposite of a phone: nothing to charge, nothing to scroll, and the finished book stays in the family.
How they are made and shipped
Every book is printed to order. Memory books are 8.5 x 11 hardcovers with a case-wrap cover. Memoir journals are 6 x 9 paperbacks, perfect bound. Keepsake journals come in both formats. Shipping is free on every order, within Australia and internationally, with no minimum order value. Paperback journals and books take approximately 10 to 12 business days; hardcover books approximately 4 weeks. These are estimates and may be longer for remote destinations or during November and December, so for a gift we suggest ordering hardcovers around six weeks ahead and paperbacks around three weeks ahead. The books are published under our Sovereign Publishing imprint.

Can the books be written in with a pen?
Yes. The memory books, memoir journals and keepsake journals are designed for handwriting: one prompt or activity to a page, and the rest of the page is for the answer. The scripture and poetry treasuries are reading books.
