[Ad: post contains gifted item]

I’m always looking for unique gift ideas and was recently stumped when it came to finding something to get Bob for our second anniversary (where has that time gone?). So, it was important the gift was something sensible and useful, not more money to be wasted at sites such as WizardSlots.
In the end I lucked out as I was contacted by In The Book to see if I was interested in reviewing one of their products just as I was beginning to think I’d never find a cool enough gift.
Ok, so technically as this was a gift to me, it wasn’t quite a gift to Bob, but it was a great opportunity and the resulting product blew us both away.

In The Book are book specialists who take well loved stories; be it a childhood favourite or a classic work of fiction and give it a personalised touch. What better gift to give than make someone a part of their favourite book? I was given something very much like this when I was a small child and it remains one of my favourite possessions to this day.

When it came to picking out a product to review I actually skipped past the story books and straight to the newspaper style pictorial books. Bob and I both share a love of wartime history, especially World War 2 and The Battle of Britain, so this beautifully bound Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary Pictorial Edition Newspaper Book, £79.99 was an obvious choice.

You may balk a little at the price tag, I did at first, but the second this book arrived and I presented it to Bob we could see why it was priced this way. This is a work of art and beautifully presented. It really does make for a special gift and we immediately spent a good couple of hours exploring the pages.

The pages of this book are crammed full of actual newspaper articles from 1940 onwards. It’s not the kind of book you can sit and devour in one sitting and this will provide us entertainment, and enlightenment for ages.

In The Book has many of these newspaper style books covering all interests, as well as classic novels, children’s favourites and some very tongue in cheek humour titles. I cannot recommend this company enough for gift ideas for book lovers and for those eager to learn. These will make for true keepsake gifts that will be treasured for years to come.

What title would you most like to see yourself transported in to?
