What goes in

  • Family trees, one generation to a spread
  • Scanned photos, letters, certificates and recipes
  • The stories behind the names, in the words of the people who remember them

The portrait page suits it

The 8.5 × 11 page holds a full family tree, a page of text or a document scanned at its real size. These books are side-sewn, so they hold together through years of being taken down and read.

Questions

How do I scan old documents?

Scan at 300 pixels per inch or more at the size they'll print, in color even for black-and-white originals, so the paper's tone comes through.

Does color cost more?

No. Every page prints in full color at the same price.

How many pages can it have?

Up to 160, in steps of 2. Larger histories can run as volumes, one per branch or generation.
