From the Author
This is one of the most thoughtful gifts that you can give to a Mom, and she in return can give back to the entire family. Imagine if your great-grandmother had been able to tuck away a similar book for you and the rest of your family. What a joy to discover some of her favorite memories of the old days, in her own handwriting. This is such an inexpensive but thoughtful gift but, after the pages have been filled out, it will become a priceless and irreplaceable family heirloom. About the Author

This book is one of three versions I purchased-one for my Grandmother, another for my father, and a third for my mother.
I'll start from the top:
A. DESIGN:
Beautiful exterior design. The color chosen for each group (Grandmothers, Moms, Dads) is appropriate, and the cover design is clean and simple. The linen covering for the cover of each book gives it a distinguished feel, far from many of the cheaply-made alternatives that can be found in the "Customers Who Purchased This Item Also Purchased..." recommendation bar along the bottom.
There are only two issues with the design. First, the barcode that adheres to the back of the book is peeled off easily, but pulls some of the book's color off with it as it goes. Second, the books are so SMALL! This is really the main reason why they're rated at a three-star level. Between the photos and the product description, I felt as though it should have been made clear that these books are really no larger than a postcard. to discover this fact, you either have to order the books and discover it when they arrive in a tiny package, or scroll down and read into the product specs.
Also, the size is especially inconvenient for mothers, fathers and Grandmothers who are older and need more space to write (both due to handwriting and the length of their stories) that's not such a great design choice. Each question only allows for a few lines' worth of answers...can you truly expect your family members to provide a recounting of the bits and pieces of her life with only a dozen closely spaced lines?
B. INTERIOR COPY:
Questions seem interesting and story-inspiring.
