Questions

Who is a Memory Book for?

Anyone living with memory loss, from the first signs to later stages, and the family and caregivers around them. Many families also make one simply to keep a parent's stories. Grandparents love them either way.

How many photos do I need?

Around twenty is ideal, but a book works with as few as ten. Old prints are fine: take a photo of them with your phone in good light and upload that.

Who writes the words?

The words come from what you tell us. We shape your notes into short first-person captions, and every name, place and date must come from what you wrote. You read every page and can change anything before it's printed.

Can other family members help?

Yes. Share your private link and brothers, sisters and grandchildren can add photos, stories and voice recordings from their own phones.

How long does it take?

Most families finish their part in about twenty minutes, spread over as many visits as they like. We send the proof within about three days, and the book usually arrives one to two weeks after you approve it.

Where do you ship?

Anywhere in the United States, free. You choose the address at checkout, so it can go straight to them or to their care community.

Are our photos private?

Yes. Only people with your private link can see your book while it's being made. We use your photos and words only to make your book, and we never share or sell them. See our privacy policy.

What if something's wrong when it arrives?

If your book arrives damaged or with a printing problem, email us a photo within 30 days and we will reprint it at no cost. See our refund policy for everything else.
