Great concept, could be better. Satisfied overall.
Super cool concept. Fast, easy, secure purchase and delivery. The most perfect gift for a friend who is both fanatical about newspapers and their favorite team! I gotta say though, I was disappointed by the resolution of the text. Especially text that is so small; I was expecting much crisper lettering.
I accept, however, that scanning and printing newspaper, especially decades old ones, can present certain challenges.

Good product/ horrible customer service
Product is good but customer service is lacking. It took them 3 days to respond to an email to tell me they couldn’t change the shipping. If they had responded when I emailed (within minutes of placing the order) then they could have easily changed it. They were unwavering in helping and also refused to cancel the order since I couldn’t change shipping. Very poor customer service.

The book was absolutely beautiful! I got it for my dad as a Christmas present. It was by far the coolest present I gave out this year. Next year I'll be buying him another one with a different team!
