See it free

We draw the two of you, the cover and two pages while you wait. Not quite them? Say what to change.
Order, check, surprise them

Pay when you love it. We draw the rest and email you the finished book: change any page, or say yes.

You pay nothing until you have seen them. See your characters, the cover and two pages free before you pay. Then you check every page: if we haven’t heard from you within 12 hours of our email, we print it as shown so it arrives on time.

Three pages from a love story

Your love story book follows the two of you, in your own words. These sample pages are drawn in the Retro print style.

Retro print illustration of two people reaching for the last copy of the same book in a bookshop — How you met, the way you tell it.

Retro print illustration of a couple sharing chips by the sea at sunset — The first date, and the firsts that followed.

Retro print illustration of a man proposing on a hill above a city at night — The big moments, if you want them in.

The moment they open it

Half of the present is the look on their face when they find the bookshop, the boardwalk and the burnt pancakes on the page.

A present only you could give

Nobody else knows about the boardwalk, the burnt pancakes or the song you both pretend to hate. That is what goes in the book, and why it means more than anything you could buy in a shop, for a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a fiancé or a fiancée.

Make it without them knowing: the photos you already have are enough. Celebrate a first anniversary, an engagement or ten years together.

Two women, two men, a couple who met at sixteen or at sixty, long distance or the apartment upstairs. You tell us who you are and the story is written around you, with your pronouns and your names for each other.

Add up to two more people, a best friend or a child, and up to two pets.

Your story, your people, your names for each other.

Questions, answered

When can I order?

Ordering for Our Story So Far opens soon. You can make the book now and see your characters, the cover and two pages free; leave your email and we will write the day it opens.

Can I make it without my partner knowing?

Yes. The photos already on your phone are enough, and everything is sent to you, not to them.

Is it for married couples too?

It works for any couple at any stage. For a wedding anniversary with the wedding day and the family in it, our wedding anniversary book is made for that.

Does it work for same-sex couples?

Of course. You choose the names, the pronouns and how you call each other, and the story is written around the two of you.

Do I need photos?

No. One to three photos of each of you give the best likeness, or build both of you in the character maker instead.

What if we don’t look like us?

You see the two of you, the cover and two pages free before you order. Tell us what to change and we redraw it. You check every page before we print, with 12 hours to ask for changes.

How personal can it get?

As personal as you like. Give us the moments in a few lines and we write the pages in your words; you can change any line before printing.

What happens to our photos?

They are used only to draw your book and never to train AI. We delete them 30 days after your book is delivered, and drafts that are never ordered after 60 days.

What if it arrives damaged?

Send us a photo and we reprint it free.

Where do you deliver?

To addresses in the United Kingdom and the United States, printed in the country it goes to. We can’t deliver anywhere else yet.

Can I cancel?

Yes, until we print. If you are not happy with the finished pages, cancel before we print and we refund you in full. Once it is printed, a book made for your family can’t be returned, but anything damaged or wrong on our side is reprinted free.
