When constructed with acid-free paper and fine-binding, a book can last for centuries. It's classic and durable technology.

Along with the narrative of your personal history, pictures and documents can be reproduced for inclusion in the book. Binding options range from custom-made leather heirloom editions to regular hard-cover and even soft-cover, if you want multiple copies for the extended family.

Length varies according to your preference. A full-length life story generally runs 125-150 pages. Cost varies somewhat, depending on length, images included and binding preference. Generally, cost per page is about $100. A 100-page life history would cost approximately $10,000, everything included, except travel expenses if necessary.

At no extra charge, clients receive a compact disc recording of the interview sessions upon which the book is based.
