Family history books

Most family histories are A4, between 100 and 400 pages, with photographs, scanned certificates and family trees. All of that prints well in colour, and colour pages are included in the price.

What works well on the cover: - The family name and the years covered on the spine, for example WILLIAMS FAMILY · 1842–2026 - A short title on the front: THE WILLIAMS FAMILY OF TARANAKI - Black or burgundy for a traditional look, royal blue or green if the family has a colour

Ordering three or more copies brings the price to $198 each, which is usually the point where every sibling gets one.

Same price as a thesis. Same book.

A4 portrait is standard and covers almost every family history, memoir and recipe book. For landscape or square books, email us for a quote.
