Frequently asked questions

What makes a good retirement memory book?
Variety of voices and genuine memories. Rather than generic 'best wishes' messages, prompt contributors to share something specific — a favourite memory of working together, what they'll miss, the thing the retiree was known for, a piece of advice for retirement. Collecting these from colleagues across a career (plus friends and family) creates a moving, often funny keepsake that captures the mark someone left. Pass the pages round discreetly in the weeks before, then bind them into a book to present alongside any gift.
Is it really free?
Yes — no email, no sign-up.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes — print as many copies as you need.
