My encyclopedia has just arrived for my nephew this morning and it is lovely it nearly made me cry. It is high quality and I was pleasantly surprised I can't wait to read it to him when he grows up. I showed all the secretaries at work and they now want one for their family members!

I bought this as a Christening gift. I wanted to get something unique and personalised that my Godson could enjoy in his early years. The actual product completely exceeded my expectations. The book is very good quality and the pictures are beautifully painted. Lovely gift. Thank you also for prompt and helpful communication about a brief dispatch delay. I will recommend this site to others.

We brought this encyclopedia for our son who is turning 1 soon. We know it will be read when he is older but we wanted something personalised for his first birthday, without being tacky or something that he won't use. This is a brilliant gift and I am sure that we will spend hours of enjoyment together. It is very well presented and a interesting range of pictures inside.

My little granddaughter is delighted with her Personalised Children's Encyclopedia and I am very impressed with its speedy delivery.

I will certainly be ordering more items from this company, they are very good.

My son received this beautiful gift from a thoughtful friend for his 1st birthday, we were so impressed that we have ordered 4 more as presents for other children. Each one we have given has been admired greatly. A stunning present.

By: Valerie Sakseide	On: 04/08/2009	Ranking:

I was so pleased with this personalised encyclopaedia. It is beautifully done using all the letters in the child's name, and the special little verses at the beginning and end of the book make it quite unique. Also being able to have a personalised message printed in the book is a lovely idea. The speed in which it arrived was excellent. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get something that little bit different, and very personal, for a christening gift.

Lovely gift, very good quality of finished product but I was a little disappointed with how thin it was for the price you pay.... still i'm very pleased with it

This is the second one of this product that I have ordered - the first was a present, and was so excellently produced and gorgeous that I ordered one for my daughter. I had a special request that was speedily and helpfully dealt with, which was a great pleasure. I cannot fault this product for quality and originality - it's genuinely lovely.

When i received the encyclopaedia i was thrilled. It was so unique. I bought it for my Nephews christening. I would definately buy another.

By: Claire Sanderson	On: 26/11/2008	Ranking:

The existing reviews said this gift exceeded all expectations and I have to agree, the quality is exceptional. Somebody gave feedback advising the book doesn't cover the full alphabet but a page at the back does this just not in as much detail as the letters in the childs name. Delivery advises upto 21 days but I received it within 1 week, they obviously put this on for busy periods.

By: Anonymous	On: 29/10/2008	Ranking:

Unbelievably nice encyclopaedia, the 3rd one I have bought but the delivery timescales really vary depending on how busy they are that week so make sure you allow the full recommended time just in case. Absolutely well worth the wait though.

A totally unique gift for any special boy or girl. I wanted to give my nephew something that little bit different for his Christening, and something that he would cherish...... and this fits all the criteria! Perhaps it ought to be reiterated that it only contains the letters in the childs name and not the entire alphabet. Nevertheless, really pleased and would certainly recommend this book.

Ordered this book for my godson, it arrived early and is absolutely beautiful. The parents of my godson are delighted and have mentioned numerous times how they love the book and how beautiful it is, I now feel it will become a regular gift between my circle of friends for their childrens christenings, birthdays etc. The book is lovely, bright and colourful and such a personal gift, the pictures on the website really do not do it justice. I will be ordering more of these books.

This encyclopaedia arrived this morning and I am thrilled with it! The content is based on the name requested with each page being dedicated to each individual letter in turn.Each page is very colourful and the front and back pages state that the book is hand- crafted especially for the person named, a nice touch! It also arrived within a week which was perfect!
